Queensland health authorities are desperately trying to confirm whether the Omicron variant has entered their state.
A returned traveller in hotel quarantine in Queensland is likely to be infected with the Omicron coronavirus variant.
Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said genomic testing had ruled out the Delta variant, with more tests underway to determine if the person had the Omicron strain.
That person, who spent time in southern Africa, was one of seven new cases reported in Queensland on Saturday.
