A second person who was on board a luxury superyacht that sailed from the Maldives to Cairns has tested positive for coronavirus.

Queensland police initially launched an investigation after a female crew member of the superyacht tested positive on Thursday. Now a second person - a man in his 30s - has also returned a positive swab.
