)Mr Marshall said there was still a chance the lockdown could continue if there were "further unlinked cases tomorrow".
"Although the lockdown will most likely be lifted as of midnight tomorrow night, the people who are in quarantine — directed quarantine — need to remain in that quarantine situation so that we can all continue to move around South Australia," he said.

Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the 87-year-old man contracted coronavirus at Tenafeate Creek Wines, the same as 10 other cases.
He is now quarantining at Tom's Court Hotel with his wife.
Toilets near the testing site he visted have been added as an exposure site because of the time he had to wait.
Of the infected people, six had received one dose of the vaccine, 12 were not vaccinated (including four too young to be eligible) and it was unknown whether the last person was vaccinated or not, Professor Spurrier said.
"Absolutely a reason why every South Australian should get on and get your vaccine," she said.
A total of 17,260 COVID–19 tests were conducted on Sunday, after three days above 23,000.
A positive test in sewerage from Salisbury has been attributed to a case identified last week, Professor Spurrier said.
A man in his 50s who had returned from overseas and was staying in a medi-hotel also tested positive.
