An adult education college in Adelaide's inner west will be shut and about 1,100 staff and students forced to isolate after the emergence of a new coronavirus case linked to a growing cluster.She is the fifth person linked to a cluster linked to schools, businesses and a hotelSA Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said a woman aged in her 20s had tested positive for COVID-19, and that contact tracing had identified about 70 close contacts.
"We have not got community transmission in South Australia in any way in a widespread form and this is why we're being absolutely over-cautious in this instance," she said.Professor Spurrier said Thebarton Senior College was unusual in that it catered to adult learners, so students could be in multiple classes with a range of people, rather than just their own year level like most schools.
"There are a large number of close contacts and this is because the Thebarton Senior College is a college for adult learners," she said.
