Greater Brisbane has avoided a lockdown for now, after a 26 year-old man tested positive for COVID-19 last week while he had been out in the community. 

The Queensland Government has corrected their initial advice that the man had held a party for 25 people after being told to self-isolate, instead saying that there had been a misunderstanding and he had actually been at home with five household contacts.

The brother of the man initially diagnosed has now also tested positive, but was not infectious at the time of testing.
