There are fears that crew on a container ship anchored off Queensland could be carrying a strain of Covid-19 never seen before in Australia.
The Sofrana Surville was prevented from docking at Brisbane, and was instead anchored off the coast of Mooloolaba on Thursday.
All 19 crew members will betested by Queensland Health on Wednesday after an engineer, who worked on-board, tested positive in New Zealand on Saturday.
It's believed he caught the virus while working on the Sofrana Surville off Auckland on October 12 and 13.
