South Australia's chief public health officer has revealed there are currently just 12 available rooms for COVID-positive patients.

Speaking on ABC Radio on Tuesday morning, Nicola Spurrier’s comments came as the state recorded 14 new coronavirus infections on Monday; all returned travellers from overseas in medi hotels.

She said hotel workers at Tom’s Court, including nursing staff, worked on Friday to “reshuffle” guests to make additional room. “It gives us a chance for some people in Tom’s Court to be discharged and takes a little bit of pressure off us for that period of time.”When asked the total number of active cases that could be safely managed with current resources, Professor Spurrier explained it was dependent on how sick people were and the family grouping.
