A public health alert has been issued for places in Eatons Hill, Aspley and Albany Creek on Brisbane's north side, as well as a truck seat company at Rocklea in the city's south.
The Mother Duck childcare centre and kindergarten at Eatons Hill had been identified as a casual contact site last Thursday morning.
The man had not travelled interstate or overseas recently.
The last known case of community transmission in Brisbane was weeks ago and linked to a cluster at Sunnybank on the city's south side.
The case will be reported in Tuesday's COVID-19 data.
Queensland reported zero new cases on Monday, when Premier Annastasia Palaszczuk signalled revised modelling due this week would determine the state's path to reopening to people from New South Wales and Victoria.

)Prime Minister Scott Morrison on the weekend said he could not see why Australians "should be kept from each other" if 80 per cent of the population was vaccinated.
Ms Palaszczuk said revised modelling from the Doherty Institute should be available by the end of the week.
When asked if the state borders would open by December, the Premier said a national plan would be discussed at National Cabinet on Friday.
"I look forward to those discussions with the Prime Minister and all of the other premiers," she said.
"We look forward to the day when all of Australia can open up and people can be reunited. But for that to happen, we need to make sure that people are vaccinated."
