South Australia has three new cases of locally acquired Covid-19 after a worker from a quarantine hotel infected family members. A woman in her 50s and man in his 60s were later tested and on Sunday also found to be infected. All staff working at SA’s quarantine hotels will now be required to undertake virus testing every seven days. “It’s obvious that the highest risk in Australia right now is this risk of importation [of the virus] in our quarantine hotels,” Spurrier said. A 30-year-old man who recently returned from overseas was also diagnosed while in hotel quarantine.
