One of the nation's toughest coronavirus lockdowns comes into place in South Australia

ABC  

Some of the toughest restrictions faced anywhere in Australia since the start of the coronavirus pandemic are now in place in South Australia. Premier Steven Marshall yesterday put South Australia into a major lockdown for six days as a "circuit breaker" to stop a second wave of coronavirus starting from a cluster in Adelaide's north. "If the numbers absolutely dissipate in the coming days, we can't see any reason we can't be back at work next Wednesday, so the employer community will accept this," he said. "We've got an owner who's fantastic but I guess … it's just terrible," he said. "It's no point panicking and rushing out to the shop and, you know, buying up lots of toilet paper," Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said.
