More coronavirus cases have been confirmed overnight, connected to six Qantas Adelaide Airport baggage handlers who tested positive to COVID-19 on Tuesday.
According to The Advertiser:
SA’s chief public health officer, associate professor Dr Nicola Spurrier, said “several” new cases emerged after tests were done overnight. However, she did not have exact figures.
“There have been several more cases overnight and I don’t have further details but I will be able to update people later in the day about that,” Dr Spurrier said.
“It’s goes to show how transmissible this virus is, particularly when you have people working in close proximity to each other.”
SA Health reported 32 new cases on Tuesday, including six airline workers, only 24 hours after the state recorded one of its lowest daily infection rates.
