Mitcham council area has been revealed as Adelaide’s coronavirus hotspot as the state government releases local heat mapping of where confirmed cases live.
According to The Advertiser:
The maps show in which council areas confirmed coronavirus cases are now living, rather than where they got it, helping people to make their own common sense decisions…
The maps also only show total cases, meaning some will have recovered.
Similar localised data on coronavirus clusters this week led SA Health to crackdown in the Barossa, including strongly requesting no unnecessary travel in or out, as well as at Adelaide Airport where a breakout among baggage handlers forced isolation and cleaning.
The finding that Mitcham has Adelaide’s most cases follows evidence from NSW and Victoria where relatively wealthier suburbs were found to have the highest infection numbers.
That is believed to largely be due to their higher rates of overseas travel.
