Ten Queensland hospital staff who saved the life of a patient with COVID-19 have been forced into 14-day isolation after becoming casual contacts.
9News understands the patient had been moved from a COVID ward to the medical imaging unit at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital before suffering an anaphylactic shock due to contrast dye being used before an MRI scan today.
The event triggered additional staff to help assist during the life-threatening incident.
But they did not have enough time to put on full personal protective equipment.
