Zero new cases as SA starts six-day lockdown to stop COVID-19 outbreak growing

Despite record testing levels, no new COVID-19 cases have been detected overnight. It comes as the Parafield cluster drops to 22 cases, as the Police Commissioner defended the state's medi-hotels program.

This live blog for rolling COVID-19 coverage has now ended, but this report will be updated throughout the evening.

There were no new COVID-19 cases detected overnight, as the state enters the first of six days of full lockdown.

There are now 23 cases in the Parafield cluster, with 17 other suspected cases linked to it, SA chief health public officer Professor Nicola Spurrier said at a press conference this morning, but SA Health said this afternoon one case had been removed from the cluster after further testing.

"We have 3200 close contacts in quarantine directly linked to the cluster and thousands of other South Australians on quarantine who have had tests," Prof Spurrier said.

She listed a series of locations across metro Adelaide that were of "real concern" and said people who had been at those spots during the alert times needed to get tested and quarantine.

"There are a number of venues where infectious cases have been over the last week or so and this is why we've done the pause to stop it in its tracks - so we can find as many of those people and have them quarantine ... this pause is giving us time to identify them, get them tested and have that 14-day quarantine period for all those people."

SA Health has particularly asked anyone who visited or got food - including delivery - from the Woodville Pizza Bar from Nov 6-16 to immediately quarantine, seek testing, wear a mask, and let testing staff know they were at the pizza bar. This includes members of the household.
