South Australians can rest assured daily case numbers are not spiralling as in January, but Covid-19 remains in the community.
Days after the opening of the Adelaide Fringe, there were 1958 cases reported on Wednesday, which is significantly higher than most daily numbers reported this month.
On Thursday there were 1735 new cases reported in South Australia, a slight decline and on Friday daily cases fell by 21 to 1,714 patients.
About 112 patients were being treated in hospital – down 30 cases in the past 24 hours while the number of people in ICU is stable.
It comes as an Adelaide bar has been fined after it filmed people dancing and not wearing masks, posting the breach on Instagram.
Updated daily local government area case numbers reveal Covid-19 is continuing to spread through some populated areas more than others.
The Salisbury local government area has the highest number of active cases with 1692, followed by Playford with 1413, Onkaparinga with 1392, and Charles Sturt with 1149 cases.
