South Australia state is battling a growing number of Covid-19 infections, with 17 cases now linked to a family cluster in the capital, Adelaide.

“It is a very, very dangerous situation we’re in,” state Premier Steven Marshall said Monday, urging residents to get tested if they had symptoms. He said his government would consider tougher social-distancing restrictions if necessary, adding “we will do whatever it takes to get on top of this cluster.”
