There are two new cases of COVID-19 today. There has been a total of 909 cases notified in South Australia.

One case is a woman in her 50s who arrived from overseas and is currently in a medi-hotel. Her case is potentially an historical case but has been added to our case numbers as it has not been counted overseas.

Our second case is a man in his 60s who is a commercial transport worker who lives in SA and returned from NSW overnight. He is currently in a medi-hotel. Six public exposure sites have been identified and will shortly be uploaded at SA contact tracing and exposure locations.
