South Australian health authorities have revealed that five COVID-positive truck drivers have travelled through the state in the past six days, while new wastewater testing results have revealed traces of the virus in Adelaide's north and south.

There are now 20 exposure sites across the state, from Nundroo and Ceduna in the west, to Port Augusta, Port Wakefield, Adelaide and Tailem Bend.

"I have another little bit of concern here to pass on. We, as people know, do regular wastewater testing in South Australia and I was informed about two positive wastewater tests late yesterday," SA Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said. Professor Spurrier said her hope was that the Salisbury result was an after-effect of the state's Modbury cluster, and was from people who "have had COVID and are still shedding the virus", but expressed unease about what the southern suburbs result might indicate.

"Until we have lots and lots of people getting tested I can't feel reassured that we don't have community transmission."

Bullshiz they aren't getting tested! And the test is faulty, Kary Mullis is the inventor, look into what he says about it!

Living with Covid......

It is time to remove Andrews bio-security powers or you will have no State left. He said we have to live with the virus, so why lockdown indefinitely? What if you don't reach 70% vaccination, he locks the state forever?

Andrews & chief turns an announced easing of lockdown yesterday to a full perpetual lockdown dependent on extorting Victorians' freedom with an hypothetical 70% vaccination target which has no scientific proof with 6.5 million 5km borders 2 curfews & 6 lockdowns so far! Criminal

Are they from the English or non-English community?
