One of SA's two new coronavirus cases has been linked to pizza bar at the centre of the cluster — but authorities have decided against returning the state to the drastic lockdown circumstances experienced last week.

There had been concerns last week that people were catching coronavirus from pizza boxes at the pizza bar, and Dr Spurrier said it was still unclear how the girl caught the virus."We still haven't completely nailed exactly how she got infected and when she was infectious," she said.

"There's also the possibility that there might have been somebody else … who has been infected that this person's become infected through, so the jury's still out on that at the moment.""More likely, she picked it up from the air from someone there," he said. South Australia's COVID–19 Transition Committee is meeting tomorrow, but its focus will be on what restrictions can be removed ahead of December 1, rather than adding more restrictions.

What was the pizza ? Pineapple ?

I caught it from a penguin who caught it from a snapper who caught it from nemo, I always thought nemo was trouble.

Wear a bloody mask! Is it that bloody hard? Then we wouldn’t be looking for someone to blame.

What type of pizza? Did it taste good? Without this crucial information you lose the radical Melbourne pizza fans.

Is it because they lied and said they had half ham pineapple and half Sicilian... when I reality the ordered pepperoni with olives 💁 ? Seems about as solid as the info they locked down with a week ago. 👍😀

I only ever order extra jalapeños and anchovies on mine,never realised you could order COVID as an extra.

Because dan andrews owes china money so he shut the economy down

Well if contacts are already in quarantine, they don't need to lockdown.

Can’t get it from a pizza 🍕

Politics...

This is making it really hard to believe the Health advice. Hard immediate lockdown because of brief contact was necessary and now it’s not. What?

Is that an LNP state?

Unfortunately the message of what to do is getting less clear with each case. Or is it just me?

Rubbish stop lying

Get a fucking grip Australia bunch of virus scaredy cats 🙄🙄

How long were they waiting for the pizza... this place sounds more suss as the days pass

Another reason why pineapple shouldn’t be on pizza

On the upside the student won’t need a vaccine and subsequently their risk of a debilitating health issue is reduced 🤔

Because it's basically the flu

Typical of the ABC, asking, no . demanding more sorrow on the Australian people, ABCENEMYOFTHEPEOPLE

Still no PPE for the security guards. A mask that’s it. Lessons have not been learnt.

If lockdowns work why mandate masks? If masks work, why mandate social distancing? If social distancing works, why lockdowns? REPEAT

Because people aren't interested in your relentless fear porn?

Here’s going gangbusters at masquerading as a news organisation once again - SHAMEFUL

Would like to say they're not in lockdown because science and sanity prevailed. But no.

The exceptionalism on display is astounding. She almost certainly caught from someone else who authorities are yet to identify (so in other words, a mystery case). Just admit that you haven’t found the link yet.

Apparently Dan Anderson authorised the pizza boxes! Where's Peta to sort this out!

That’s a damn good looking slice of pizza

There is no student or Covid pizza . Wake up idiots .

If South Australia actually believes in surface transmission, the only right thing to do is to cease all importation of products from overseas. Otherwise they need to stop spreading misinformation and acknowledge airborne spread.

Hi, please check out my gig if you need any kind of graphic design

The student caught it from direct contact with an infected individual, or from infected air in an enclosed setting (including, potentially, the pizza restaurant). If you could get infected from surfaces, thousands of people would have caught it from deliveries while quarantining

Because they are a Liberal state! “ I know nuthig”

Wanting more lockdowns ? Sounds about right.

Rachel is required as a matter of urgency

Because Biden won.

Listen to these idiots calling for lock down again. Enough with you evil deeds!

Why wasn’t the student recognized as a contact of the pizza place and in isolation for 14 days?

Why would they be in lockdown, it's summer!

the pizza might be hot BUT the boxes were touched by infected worker then boom covid infection by touching the boz

Gee it's almost as if they have no idea what they are doing.

SA cluster examined after coronavirus infection found in hotel guestsBREAKING South Australia will ask National Cabinet to consider testing all returning Australian citizens before they board a flight home, with a view that they must test negative before boarding. No. If you're a citizen you have a right to return. You just need to go into a quarantine service that is competently managed, something that seems beyond all governments in this country. Hoping that request will be swiftly denied. That would be an absolute abandonment of our duty of care to bring Australian citizens home. all this for a bad cold those whom the Gods would destroy, they first send them Mad
