South Australia announces six-day 'circuit-breaker' lockdown
The state of South Australia on Wednesday announced a six-day "circuit-breaker" lockdown from midnight, as authorities raced to contain a sudden coronavirus cluster in the city of Adelaide.
Schools, eating places and factories were told to close even while stay-at-home orders were issued for residents over the state, after a good cluster of 22 circumstances began in a resort used to quarantine travellers from overseas.
"We 're going hard and we 're going early. Period is definitely of the essence and we must action swiftly and decisively. We can not wait to observe how bad this becomes," state premier Steven Marshall said.--AFP
