A Townsville student who attended school at Pimlico State High School for three days this week has been forced into home quarantine after travelling to the COVID-19 hotspot of Sydney without isolating on their return last Friday.
Queensland police were alerted on Wednesday after a teacher learnt the Pimlico State High School student had been to Sydney. The student was immediately sent home.
Police are conducting investigations about how this took place and have assured the public that all precautions were taken and that the chance of spread was low risk.
