Man who tested positive for coronavirus visited Launceston supermarket before self-isolating

A man who tested positive for coronavirus after arriving in Tasmania from Iran left the hospital to enter self-isolation at home until the results came in, but visited a city supermarket to stock up on the way, authorities say. Today, at a press conference, Dr Veitch said "further information had come to light" that the man — whose name has not been released — chose to visit the Woolworths store in Wellington Street, Launceston, on Sunday night, before his diagnosis was confirmed. The man "spent about 15 minutes" in the supermarket between the hours of 10:00pm and 10:15pm, Dr Veitch said, adding he was not wearing a mask at the time. Dr Veitch said authorities did not anticipate any infections as a result of the incident, but asked that anyone who was at the supermarket at the time who became unwell over the next couple of weeks to call the public health hotline on 1800 671 738. He described the actions of the man, who he said was informed of the requirement for self-isolation, as "disappointing". View POI

Flooding in St George as Balonne River swells following Queensland rain

Swiftwater crews are on standby in St George in Queensland's southern inland, with dozens of homes in low-lying areas at risk of flooding from the rising Balonne River. Sunwater southern region general manager John Kelly said they were closely monitoring the flow of water through the Jack Taylor Weir at St George. "We open the gates in stages to manage the flood coming through the weir, but once the flow gets up above 60,000 megalitres a day, all the gates are open, so at the moment all 13 gates are fully open and we're discharging around 150,000 megalitres a day through the weir," Mr Kelly said. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said the river was expected to peak at 12 metres tomorrow afternoon following recent heavy rain. "At this stage, it's still 10.5 metres approaching 11 metres … it's going up as all the water is coming from the north," senior BOM forecaster Gabriel Branescu said. An emergency declaration is in place around the town, with residents told to evacuate and the Andrew Nixon Bridge closed. View Destination

Three baboons captured after escaping from truck at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

Police have confirmed three baboons escaped from a truck at an animal research facility at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney's inner west — but have now been captured. The baboons reportedly broke free from a truck after being transported from a NSW colony to the hospital, Health Minister Brad Hazzard confirmed. Mr Hazzard said the incident involved a 15-year-old male baboon accompanied by two females who were "there to keep him calm because tomorrow he was due for a vasectomy". The animals were not involved in research but had been brought in from the colony in western Sydney for treatment at the facility. "He cut loose before the big cut," said Mr Hazzard. "The operation will go ahead and then he will be returned to his colony with the two females." Mr Hazzard said Taronga Zoo handlers had attended to make sure the animals were "well managed". View POI
