More information on the one new case in SA
A new case of coronavirus has been identified as part of South Australia's Parafield cluster, bringing the total number of associated cases to 27.
The woman is a member of a large family group, many of whom contracted the disease at a recent gathering.
South Australian Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the woman had been in quarantine since last Monday and had returned two negative tests before testing positive this morning.
Almost 9,000 tests were undertaken in South Australia yesterday.
More than 4,000 people are quarantining and one person — a man in his 30s — remains in hospital.
Professor Spurrier said it took eight days for the virus to incubate in the woman's body.
"It absolutely tells us that anybody who has been asked to be in quarantine needs to be in quarantine for the whole 14 days because there are people who have that very much longer incubation period," she said.
"Certainly getting out to day eight is a long period of time, but obviously the 14 days is of major importance for everybody who has been asked to be in quarantine."
There are now 38 active cases in South Australia.
A total of 556 have been recorded since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
