The husband of this positive case had originally tested negative but serology results in the past 24 hours showed that
the couple are both towards the end of their illness.
The couple travelled through the New South Wales towns of Dubbo, Forbes, Gillenbah and Moree between June 1-4, and in
Queensland through Toowoomba, Caloundra, Buddina and Baringa between June 5-8.
