The first case of coronavirus has been confirmed in the Australian state Queensland - bringing the national total to seven, reports Daily Mail, UK.
The state's chief health officer Dr Jeanette Young confirmed on Wednesday a 44-year-old Chinese national tested positive for the disease.
The man, who is from Wuhan - the epicenter of the deadly outbreak - is being treated in isolation at Gold Coast University Hospital and is said to be stable.
The patient was reportedly one of 19 people who were being tested in the state on Wednesday.
There are now four cases in NSW, two in Victoria and one in Queensland.
Earlier on Wednesday the Chinese women's national football team was isolated after arriving in Brisbane.
The team were in the city of Wuhan on January 22, and will be required to stay at their inner-city hotel to address risks that members may have the virus.
The 32 players, coaches and staff arrived in Brisbane on a flight from Shanghai and are required to stay in isolation until February 5.
Queensland health minister Steven Miles confirmed the hotel was in the centre of Brisbane.
New state government requirements demand residents to self-isolate for 14 days from when they left Wuhan, says chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young.
'Anyone who has been in contact with a confirmed case must self-isolate in their homes,' she said.
Dr Young said the football team posed no risk to the Queensland community.
'We are working closely with the hotel and the 32 individuals concerned, who are all well and not showing symptoms, and we have Queensland Health staff present at the hotel,' she said.
A further 19 people in the state have been tested for coronavirus.
The news comes just hours after a second person in Victoria was diagnosed with te virus.
The man tested positive in Victoria on Wednesday morning but doctors at the Monash Medical Centre assessed him as well enough to stay at home.
The state's health department said the man in his 60s became unwell on January 23 after returning from the Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak.
Although he had isolated himself after feeling unwell, he visited The House Of Delight restaurant in Glen Waverley with his family between 5.30pm and 7pm on January 26.
The department urged anyone who was at the restaurant during this time to be aware of symptoms.
'That restaurant is OK to go to now, people don't need to avoid the area or indeed anywhere else,' Victoria's Chief Health Officer Dr Brett Sutton said.
'For anyone else in the restaurant at a further distance and for a period of less than two hours ... the risk of transmission, although not absolutely excluded, is very low.'
Dr Sutton said health authorities had followed up with the restaurant, as well as patrons who were there on that evening.
The department said there is no current evidence that passengers or crew on the flight the man took to return to Melbourne are at risk.
Five of the man's family, three adults and two children, visited the restaurant with him and are also in home isolation.
One of them has tested negative to the virus, while the children are being kept from school.
