Duran Raman was allegedly found in a hallway at Gold Coast University Hospital after he left his isolation room on Sunday night. .

Raman is required to remain in his hospital room for 14 days regardless of if his infectious period is over under a public health direction.  .

Duran Raman, aged in his 30s, (pictured) was infectious in the community for up to 10 days after returning from a trip to Melbourne on October 10.

'Police are not investigating an incident at a health facility on the Gold Coast,' a statement read. .

Raman arrived in Queensland on October 10 following a trip to Melbourne but is believed to have been infectious several days prior. .

Police arrived at Raman's resort, where he lives alone, about 5.30pm on Wednesday and took the Covid-positive 36-year-old to Gold Coast University (pictured) by ambulance.

Health authorities said the exercise enthusiast, who is 'so sick he can barely speak', has lived in the Island Beach Resort in Broadbeach for about 12 months and was out and about around the Gold Coast for 10 days while infectious. .

Dr Young has also urged anyone who had been in the Broadbeach or greater Gold Coast areas since October 11 to monitor for Covid-19 symptoms.  

'This is a wake-up call for the Gold Coast,' the Queensland Premier said on Thursday. 

The Queensland premier has said the new case of Covid-19, an unvaccinated rideshare driver, was a 'wake-up call for the Gold Coast' (pictured, a 13-year-old receives a Covid-19 vaccine)

Meanwhile, a truck driver had been infectious for two days in Queensland as the state announced no new community-acquired cases. 

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said a truck driver with one dose of vaccine had been infectious in Queensland on October 18 and 19 and was now back in Victoria. 

Dr Young said he had received a first dose of a Covid vaccine on October 1 and 'that is not sufficient to stop someone spreading the virus'.   

Although the state's exposure site list is likely to grow, Ms Palaszczuk said lockdown on the Gold Coast was not likely as a result of the new case because of the area's relatively high vaccination rate

As of Sunday, 74.85 per cent of Queenslanders have now received a first dose of vaccine, with 60.41 per cent now fully vaccinated (pictured, a staff member in Brisbane)

Queensland Health plans to turn 100 high schools into mass vaccination clinics across a number of areas of the state with lagging vaccination rates, including Mackay, West Moreton, Cairns, Townsville, Wide Bay, Central Queensland, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Metro South and Metro North

The new case ends a run of 15 days in which Queensland has not had any community acquired cases of Covid-19 (pictured, locals enjoying a sunny day on the Gold Coast)
