The Crisafulli Government has directed Queensland Health to conduct a Part 9 investigation into major breaches at the state's virology laboratory.

This comes as it was revealed that infectious virus samples stored at the lab are unaccounted for.

Samples of Hendra virus, Lyssavirus, and Hantavirus were discovered to be missing in August of 2023 in a major breach of biosecurity protocols.

There is no evidence of risk to the community from this breach.
