A cafe and a Domino's Pizza store at Spring Hill are among a list of COVID-19 exposure sites that have been added to a list from Queensland Health after four new local cases of the virus were reported on Tuesday morning.
The sites were linked to two clusters – that of an infectious truck driver, and another involving an aviation industry worker aged in his 30s and based at Eatons Hill.
