SA COVID update
On Saturday, Premier Steven Marshall explained how the spike in new COVID-19 cases the previous day, which rose to 5679 infections, resulted from RATs were included in the daily totals for the first time.
He also concluded the results came after a delay in processing PCR tests following hot weather on Wednesday and Thursday.
Under the SA government’s modelling released on Friday, daily cases are expected to reach between 6000 and 10,000 when the outbreak reaches its peak, predicted for between January 15 and 25.
“The numbers that we’re seeing today fit exactly within the model that was delivered yesterday,” Mr Marshall told reporters on Saturday.
“I’m very hopeful that we do hit that peak in the next couple of days in South Australia, and then we head towards reducing those numbers.”
