A private school in Logan, south of Brisbane, has been temporarily closed after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.

Parklands Christian College has been temporarily closed to undergo cleaning after Queensland Health confirmed a woman tested positive late yesterday after last week returning from interstate.

In a statement, Queensland Health said the woman was in isolation and contact tracing was underway.

“The school will temporarily close until further notification to allow for cleaning and work will commence on contact tracing,” it said.

“Queensland Health is working to determine where the virus may have been acquired, including working with the woman to gather necessary information about places she may have visited whilst infectious.”

The Parklands Christian College website said the school was closed today.

The ABC understands an email to parents said a fever testing clinic will be set up in the school’s sports centre this afternoon.

The state’s total number of coronavirus cases now stands at 1,077, with six active cases remaining.

“As always, we strongly recommend everyone with symptoms to immediately get tested,” the statement said.

“Vigilance is key to keeping community transmission out of Queensland.”

Queensland Health said it will provide further information during the course of the day if any public health alerts are required.
