SA has recorded just one new COVID-19 infection overnight, the Premier says.
Steven Marshall said the overnight infection was a close contact of the known Parafield cluster, and it brings the total number of actual and suspected cases to 20.
It comes as South Australia is facing a raft of new coronavirus bans and border restrictions, as authorities launch a rapid response to extinguish a feared second COVID-19 wave.
“The good news is that overnight there’s been just one new infection overnight,” Mr Marshall said on Tuesday morning.
“The advice is go hard and go early, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
Mr Marshall said it was an anxious time for South Australia but the early results were encouraging.
He said the new restrictions, which have been imposed on gatherings, public activities and venue density. would remain in place until SA Health advises it is safe to lift them.
People are again turning out in their thousands to coronavirus testing clinics across the city.
Chief public health officer Nicola Spurrier said there were well over 3000 people tested in the past 24 hours. “It’s early days in this cluster but what we can say is we think this is an early pick-up,” Dr Spurrier said on Tuesday morning.
Dr Spurrier said testing results revealed there had not been widespread community transmission.
“What we want people to do is monitor for symptoms … even if it’s just a sniffle don’t think, ‘oh it’s just hayfever’ go and get tested.
