There are now eight active cases of COVID-19 in the state and 1091 total confirmed cases.
It comes just three weeks after another person located on a cargo ship also contracted the virus.
It is unknown if the pair are from the same vessel.
Yesterday Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll announced a review into the state's quarantine system after a man absconded from a hotel in Toowoomba.
She said she did not believe the issues were "systemic" and were isolated to the particular hotel.
Meanwhile the two girls who tested positive to COVID-19 after travelling to Melbourne, sparking a major scare and record testing blitz, have been released from hospital.
