New locations in Brisbane have been added to Queensland's COVID exposure sites list.
The close contact sites listed for Tuesday include EB Games in Albert Street and Comics Etc in Elizabeth Street, as well as a tobacconist in Cannon Hill.
Other sites in the city on Tuesday and in Cannon Hill on Monday were listed as low risk or casual contact sites.
Virgin Australia flight VA333 from Brisbane to Melbourne, between 2:59pm and 4.55pm on Monday, September 27, was listed as a close contact site.
The sites were added a day after Queensland recorded one new locally acquired case in the community and Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said she was watching the situation "very, very carefully".
Wednesday's case was a man in his 50s who was a contact of an Eatons Hill aviation worker and lives in Biggera Waters on the Gold Coast.
"He's been out in the Gold Coast area while infectious," Dr Young said on Wednesday.
"I'm asking everyone in the Gold Coast to immediately come forward [if they have] any symptoms at all [and] to make sure you get vaccinated."
Contact tracers are using credit card information to track movements of COVID-positive cases on the Gold Coast in instances where the check-in app was not used.
The latest outbreak of cases began when an unvaccinated truck driver who was infectious in Brisbane for up to eight days tested positive.
The truck driver spent four nights at Adalong Guesthouse, a shared accommodation facility in South Brisbane, as well as the Royal Albert Hotel in the CBD and The Metropolitan in Spring Hill.
