Statement

“Last Thursday, March 12, 2020, I attended the North Queensland Agribusiness Futures Forum in Townsville.

“Upon learning of Senator Susan McDonald’s positive test for COVID-19, as a precautionary measure, I have been tested early this morning and have been self-isolating since learning of the situation after displaying mild, cold-like symptoms.

“I am currently in Brisbane awaiting the results, which may take between 24 to 48 hours.

“I will keep everyone informed of my results and will continue to follow all medical advice.”
