Wastewater testing at two South Australian treatment plants has returned evidence of COVID-19, but authorities say it doesn't prove community transmission
Wastewater testing in South Australia has picked up evidence of coronavirus at two treatment plants, as the state records a new case for the first time in 12 days.
The woman had no virus symptoms and further testing was being done to determine if it was an old infection, Professor Spurrier said, saying the woman likely had no close contacts. "We can't trace that back and say there is definitely people in these areas with COVID-19," she said. "It doesn't mean we have an infectious case out there but we certainly couldn't rule that out."South Australia was cleared of active cases on Wednesday.
