South Australian health officials are poised to announce locally-acquired COVID-19 cases.
There are widespread reports a South Australian family linked to an interstate outbreak has fallen ill with the virus and is isolating.
More details are expected to be provided in a press conference later on Wednesday.
If confirmed, it would be South Australia’s first local coronavirus cases in about 200 days. The state already has border restrictions with all states and territories bar Tasmania.
Earlier this week, Premier Steven Marshall urged SA residents to get vaccinated, saying the outbreaks across Australia should be sufficient motivation.
“We don’t want lockdowns here – what we want is a very high vaccination rate. There are hundreds and hundreds of appointments available over the coming weeks,” he said.
SA Chief public health officer Nicola Spurrier confirmed two new cases in the state’s hotel quarantine on Tuesday.
