The number of people being tested for the deadly Coronavirus in South Australia has risen. 9News

It brings the total number of residents in the state that have been tested to seven. One has already returned a negative result.

Today, schools have taken every precaution to ensure their students are safe as they return from holidays. A statement from Seymour College principal Kevin Tutt says students should wait 14 days since their return from China, before coming back to school."We have now asked students who have been in China, or travelled through China, not to return to the College or Boarding House but remain in the duty of care of their family/guardian for 14 days," Mr Tutt said.

The Australian Medical Association of South Australia is working closely with SA Health to manage their response to the outbreak.
