The brother of one of three Queensland women who tested positive to coronavirus has said that the attention on the trio is motivated by race.

Two of the three women face one count of providing false or misleading information, as well as a serious fraud charge. The pair have also been hit with $4,000 fines after a trip to Melbourne.

Another 21-year-old who police allege travelled with faces the same charges.

One of the girl's brother Eddie spoke to A Current Affair on Thursday about the incident.

“You need to think about this … think about my sister … she couldn’t even breathe, some days she couldn’t even breathe out of her airways,” he said.

Eddie said his sister and the other two women hadn’t spread coronavirus deliberately.

“It’s not something that we sat down and thought about yeah, it’s a f**king mistake,” he said.

“I reckon if someone else did this yeah, that wasn’t of colour, you’d be f**king protecting them. You wouldn’t be doing all of this s**t.

“Just because we’re f**king black, you all want to run all the way to the media, talking all of this s**t bro.”

Three women have been accused of lying on their QLD border declarations. Two of them have tested positive to Covid-19.

Arif Mendes, who owns the restaurant where the pair dined after being tested for coronavirus, said that it was "disappointing".

“People say we’re in this together … well clearly not for some people, that’s disappointing.”

“Two cocktails hardly seems worth all this pain.”

Queensland's chief health officer Dr Jeanette Young said that one of the women had not been co-operating in an initial decision that may have cost tracers hours a valuable time.

“Unfortunately the second confirmed case has not wanted to let us know where she has been,” Dr Young said.

“I don’t know where that second case has been.

“I am worried about the second individual who had not been cooperative and has not shared where she has been.

“People should be very cautious … this is the time to go and get tested.”

Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll explained that she was "bitterly disappointed".

“They went to extraordinary lengths to be deceitful and deceptive and … that has what has put the community at risk,” she said.

Ms Carroll said the women would face court to send a message that “we will not tolerate this behaviour at our borders”.

On whether they should face potential jail time, she said “I think that the courts will hopefully look at this very, very seriously, as is the public.”
