Panic buying has returned to South Australia after the first local cases of coronavirus in more than 200 days.
There were five new cases reported on Wednesday morning - a miner linked to an outbreak in the Northern Territory and his family.

The positive news, Premier Steven Marshall said, was that they had all been in home isolation since Saturday.
Because of this, the state avoided a lockdown and will instead mildly ramp up restrictions.
But before Marshall had even fronted the cameras, shoppers had stripped supermarket shelves of essentials.
As seen previously in the pandemic, toilet paper was the focal point of panicked South Australians.
Marshall conceded he could understand why people were on edge but pleaded for calm.
“Frankly, it is a natural human behaviour,” he said.
“But again, I will just say to people, please be sensible about this, there is no lockdown in South Australia, no need whatsoever for panic-buying.”
South Australia avoided a lockdown on Wednesday.
Instead, home gatherings have been reduced to ten people and other recommendations have been issued.
It is being recommended that masks be worn when in the public, primarily in high-risk settings.
“We think that this will help keep us protected,” Marshall said.
