Blackwater residents to undergo widespread coronavirus testing following death of miner Nathan Turner
The death of Nathan Turner, 30, has sparked a major health emergency in Blackwater in Central Queensland with a special COVID-response team sent to the town in an effort to trace the source of his infection.
Queensland Health said Mr Turner had a "complicated" medical history, had suffered with respiratory symptoms since May and tested positive to the virus following his death on Wednesday afternoon.
How Mr Turner picked up the infection remains a mystery.
It is believed the miner had not been at work since November nor travelled outside Blackwater since February.
The Central Queensland town, with a population of 4,700, has not had a case of COVID-19 before.
Three fever clinics have been set up for residents to get tested, with long lines seen on Thursday morning.
