A nurse at the Ipswich hospital, west of Brisbane, is one of two new coronavirus cases in Queensland, with more than 220 staff going into quarantine.
Health Minister Steven Miles said the nurse had contact with a known case.
The facility is relocating or delaying appointments while the staff quarantine.
The other new case is a sister of a student at Staines College at Redbank Plains, also in Ipswich, who had contact with a known case in quarantine.
There are now 25 active cases in Queensland, with about 6,000 people tested in the past 24 hours.
Mr Miles said paramedics would assist with coronavirus testing to make it more convenient for the public.
“We’ve learned throughout this metropolitan outbreak that we need a greater and more flexible ability to stand up more fever clinics quickly and do more testing quickly,” Mr Miles said.
