Queensland records new coronavirus case

A 30-year-old man from Queensland's Sunshine Coast has tested positive to the coronavirus.

The man returned to Australia from overseas in early May and was quarantined in Perth before returning to Queensland.

He tested positive to COVID-19 after being requested by his employer to take a test before returning to work, a spokeswoman for Deputy Premier Steven Miles said on Saturday.

The man is now in isolation at his home.

The new case follows the diagnosis of the disease on Friday in a two-year-old boy who had recently returned from overseas.

It brings the total number of active coronavirus cases in the state to five and the total number of cases to 1065.
