Dreamworld has been exposed to Covid-19 after an infected Qantas flight attendant visited the Gold Coast theme park for three hours.

The young woman, who tested positive to the Delta variant of Covid-19 on Wednesday, was at Dreamworld between 10.30am and 2pm on July 16.

The park has been listed as a low risk exposure site meaning anyone who attended at the same time must watch for symptoms and get tested if they emerge.

The woman also went to Koi Dining at Broadbeach on July 14, from 1.50pm to 2.50pm. 

The restaurant is a close contact site, meaning anyone there at the same time must get tested and isolate until negative.

Dreamworld issued a statement saying customer safety was its highest priority.

'Dreamworld's number one priority is the health and safety of guests and team members, and the park operates under a Queensland Health approved Covid Safe Plan,' the statement read.

'Queensland Health has advised that any guests who visited Dreamworld on Friday the 16th of July from 10.30am to 2pm should monitor their health and, if they develop even the mildest of Covid-19 symptoms, get tested.

'Dreamworld team members who came into direct contact with the positive guest are being identified, asked to isolate immediately and to present a negative test result before returning to work.' 

The woman in her 30s from Banyo crewed six flights on Qantas' regional routes. 

She tested positive on July 21 after developing symptoms on July 13. 

Deputy Premier Steve Miles confirmed the new case of community transmission at Queensland's Friday morning Covid update.

Dr Young said all those on the six flights would need to be tested and isolate until they received their result. 

She confirmed the flight attendant had tested positive to the Indian delta variant 'currently circulating in Sydney'.
