Queensland Health is urging anyone who was at The Glen Hotel, Eight Mile Plains on Wednesday 16 December between 11:00 am and 2:30 pm who has not yet been contacted by public health officials to contact 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) immediately. Contact tracers have identified patrons from bookings who either provided illegible manual sign-in information or did not check in at the venue.
