There have been 11 new cases of COVID-19 today, with six reported from medi-hotels. There have been a total of 807 cases notified in South Australia.
Five of today's cases are linked to the Northern Territory's Tanami mine case. A man and woman in their 30s and three of their children have tested positive. All have been transferred to the dedicated COVID-19 medi-hotel.
The remaining cases are international arrivals, and include a teenager, a woman in her 20s, two women in their 30s, a woman in her 40s, and a man in his 20s. Two of the cases are considered historical infections however they have been added to our case numbers as they have not been counted overseas.
Given the increasing number of cases, we are moving to implement increased restrictions in some areas of SA, which are expected to come into effect later today. More details will be available at
www.covid-19.sa.gov.au once the direction is finalised.
