SA records 4474 new COVID cases, three deaths

There are currently 19,541 active COVID-10 cxjmtzywases in the state, bringing the total number of infections in South Australia since the start of the pandemic to 191,573.

COVID-19 cases spiked this week following the long weekend, the return of dancing and singing, and the removal of all hospitality and home gathering density limits.

The state’s COVID-Ready committee made no changes to restrictions when it met on Tuesday, with state emergency coordinator Grant Stevens citing a wish to monitor hospitalisation numbers in the wake of relaxed rules during a busy weekend of festivals.

It comes as SA Health this afternoon reported one to two-hour queues at the Victoria Park, Repat, Port Adelaide and Bedford Park testing sites.
