A South Australian nurse who worked on the front line of Victoria’s coronavirus crisis has been diagnosed with COVID-19 after returning to Adelaide.
The middle-aged woman had been working to assist with the outbreaks in Victorian aged care facilities.
SA Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the woman had no symptoms.
“It really just shows that even with our very, very most experienced nursing staff and wearing all of the PPE [personal protective equipment] required, that this is a very transmissible virus,” Dr Spurrier said.
There are now three known active cases in South Australia.
SA Health has reiterated advice for anyone travelling from Queensland to be extra vigilant about coronavirus, given the open borders between the two states.
More to come.
