One new coronavirus case identified in Adelaide school student, SA Health says

A student at an Adelaide high school has tested positive to COVID-19, South Australian health authorities say.

SA Health issued an alert at 7:30pm on Wednesday, confirming the female Woodville High School student had returned a positive test.

She attended the school “while potentially infectious”, the Department of Education said.

Anyone who attended the school on Monday, November 23, has been told to “isolate immediately with all members of their household until further notice”.

Further advice will be provided to staff, students and their families and caregivers “as soon as possible”, the health alert read.

Woodville High will be closed on Thursday for cleaning and to allow SA Health staff to conduct contact tracing and a risk assessment.
