South Australia has recorded one new case of coronavirus- but the state is yet to decide on a permanent facility to house those infected.

The state recorded its first case in 15 days on Monday, and the patient has been moved to a dedicated COVID-19 positive area at the Pullman Adelaide Hotel.

He said he was not sure when the permanent dedicated facility would be established but was “really keen” to find out what it was going to be.“We've had the advice from SA Health that having the two dedicated floors within the Pullman provides us with a very safe situation but we need to move to a dedicated, more permanent arrangement and we’ll do that on the advice of SA Health.”

“What we’ve implemented though is a new program which is going to be belt and braces; a program which is going to isolate anybody that contracts this disease.” As international flights recommended last week, it was announced that two dedicated floors of the Pullman Hotel would become the temporary area to further isolate positive cases.
