A COVID-positive child under the age of two has died in South Australia. Key points: A child under the age of two who was COVID-positive has died South Australia has recorded 1,374 new cases of COVID-19 There are still 37 patients in hospital, including four in intensive care Premier Steven Marshall said the case will be referred to the coroner, and an investigation will determine whether COVID-19 was the cause of death. Hot weather to close testing sites, Premier criticises people for getting tested The Premier announced the child's death immediately after attending a national cabinet meeting, where states agreed to "very significantly narrow" the definition of a close contact to people who have spent more than four hours with a positive case in a household type setting. "It's quite possible that, down the track, SA Health will be directing people to take a rapid antigen test and provide that to them," he said. Ms Stephens said the new restrictions at the Women's and Children's Hospital were "throwing us a curve ball".
