COVID-19 alert: Port Adelaide Plaza, Armada Arndale - The Advertiser

People who visited two SA shopping centres and certain staff and students at a western suburbs high school are the subject of new health warnings.

New alerts have been issued for two South Australian shopping centres, while a western suburbs high school remains closed for a second day after a student tested positive.

Anyone who attended the following shopping centres during these specific times are asked to monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if they develop:

Kilkenny

• Armada Arndale Shopping Centre on November 15 from 11:30am – 12:30pm and on November 22 from 11:00am – 11:30am

Port Adelaide

• Port Adelaide Plaza on November 13 from 6:40pm – 9:30pm and November 15 from 3:00pm – 3:30pm

It comes after a female Year 9 student from Woodville High School tested positive to COVID-19 late Wednesday evening.

The school closed on Thursday for deep cleaning but the Education Department said it would remain shut on Friday.

There are plans for the school to reopen on Monday.

SA Health advised the following people are required to self quarantine for 14 days:

• Students in Year 9 who attended the school on either Monday, November 23 and/or Tuesday, November 24
• Specific staff members who SA Health have determined as close contacts (these people have been notified).

SA Health Deputy Chief Public Health Officer Emily Kirkpatrick said not all household members of the identified staff and year 9 students are required to self quarantine.

“SA Health and the CDCB (Communicable Disease Control Branch) have been working very hard to contact the individuals (who are deemed close contacts) who need to then go into quarantine with their family members but we also have the whole year level to be absolutely sure we don’t miss anything,” she told ABC Radio.

“We are just so thrilled that this individual went and got tested when they did have symptoms. That's really the critical thing.

“Every morning, check the SA Health website for locations... it is important to stay up to date.”
