SA Health said this afternoon that 24 cases were reported today, bringing the total since borders reopened to November 23 to 159.

Today’s cases include five children aged under 18, nine men aged between 19 and 45 and 10 women aged between 20 and 74.

“Of these, seven acquired their infection interstate, one acquired their infection overseas, nine acquired their infections in South Australia and are known contacts of a positive case, four acquired their infections in South Australia with the source of their infection currently under investigation, and three cases acquired their infections in Australia with source investigations ongoing,” SA Health said.

Five new close contact exposure sites and a number of casual contact sites of concern were this afternoon added to South Australia’s growing list.

Among the new close contact additions are five city restaurants, some of which are listed as exposure sites over a week ago.

• Africola on Tuesday December 7 between 7.35pm to 10.15pm
• PappaRich Adelaide on Saturday December 11 between 6.30pm to 7.30pm
• Stonemill Rice Rolls on Tuesday December 7 between 10.15am to 11.15am
• The Little Hunter (indoors only) on Wednesday December 15 between 6.45pm to 8pm
• Marrakech Restaurant (North Adelaide) on Wednesday December 8 between 7.30pm to 9.15pm

Goodlife Health Club at Hindmarsh has also been added as a close contact exposure site on Sunday December 12 between 1.45pm to 3pm.

Anyone fully vaccinated who was at the sites is required to quarantine for seven days from time of exposure, while unvaccinated contacts are asked to quarantine for 14 days.

Several casual contact exposure sites have also been added. Those who visited the sites must get tested immediately and quarantine until they receive their test result.

• The Exeter Hotel on Tuesday December 7 between 5.15pm to 6.15pm
• H&M Rundle Mall on Sunday December 12 between 11.15am to 12pm
• Lazziz Afghan Cuisine at Blair Athol on Saturday December 11 between 8.30pm to 10.30pm

• Adelaide Magistrates Court (Room One) on Thursday December 9 between 9.20am to 12.30pm
• Adelaide Magistrates Court (Room 12) on Thursday December 9 between 9.30am to 11am

SA Health has also updated the exposure times for Bus 756 and 751.

Coles Port Adelaide Plaza has been added as a low-risk casual contact location on Wednesday December 8 between 7pm to 7.30pm, meaning people who visited the site at the exposure time must monitor for symptoms and get tested as soon as they develop.

It comes after Australian captain Pat Cummins was this morning withdrawn from the second Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval, after being deemed a close contact of a COVID-19 case following a visit to an Adelaide restaurant last night.

Authorities have not confirmed which restaurant Cummins visited.

Meanwhile, George’s on Waymouth has shut after a COVID-positive person reportedly visited the city restaurant.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, owner George Kasimatis said he shut the restaurant while it underwent a deep clean. 

SA Health is yet to list George’s Restaurant as an exposure site.

“I have been in communication with SA Health and working closely with them to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff and customers,” Kasimatis wrote on Facebook.

SA Health is yet to announce how many new COVID-19 cases were recorded in South Australia overnight.

However, Premier Steven Marshall told reporters earlier this morning that there were no new cases reported in the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, or across multiple residential aged care facilities that were visited by two infectious health care workers last week.
