"&lt;p&gt;Dr Young is urging all Queenslanders with any flu-like symptoms not to dismiss them as hayfever or asthma and to get tested for COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;If you have got any symptom &amp;#x2013; it doesn&amp;apos;t matter what the symptom is, a fever, or a history of a fever, or if you don&amp;apos;t know if you have got a symptom &amp;#x2013; that is when you come forward,&amp;quot; Dr Young said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Sometimes it is hard to know if this is hayfever today that I have got, or is it COVID? &amp;#x2013; come and get tested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We do know that there have been cases, not in Queensland but in other cases, where people thought it was asthma so they didn&amp;apos;t get themselves tested and it was COVID and they had already spread the infection to many people.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She said two of the three women who allegedly snuck back into Queensland after a trip to Melbourne were infectious on the flight home and for eight days out in the community afterwards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;So, they could have infected people, and those people might not have known they got infected and those people could have infected more people,&amp;quot; she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;So that is why it is really important that we are just extremely cautious for at least the next week.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;"
