Australian Defence Force coronavirus cases linked to contractor in the Middle East - ABC News

Five Australian Defence Force personnel who recently served in the Middle East have contracted coronavirus.

In a statement released this morning, Defence said it "proactively tested" members for COVID-19 in the Middle East after it was notified a number of locally engaged contractors had tested positive to the virus.

Four of the five returned to Australia on a routine Defence flight and were taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for assessment.

They are still receiving treatment at the hospital.

The fifth, who recently completed their deployment, was already in Australia in mandatory quarantine in Brisbane when they tested positive.

"The safety and health of all ADF personnel deployed to the Middle East Region remains our top priority," Defence said.

"Defence will take all necessary measures in consultation with our coalition partners, relevant host nations and Australian Federal, state and territory governments to ensure ADF personnel receive the treatment and care required."
