It's alleged the 19-year old ignored it and kept partying, with SA Health saying he entered the club at 10.45pm."Christmas is supposed to be a time to celebrate with family and loved ones, however, because of the actions of one selfish person, that wont be the case for many," Loverboy said in a statement.
SA Health says online anybody who was at the venue from 10.45pm on Friday night until 4.15am on Sat is a close contact. MP David Pisoni, called the man's actions; "absolutely outrageous," while Opposition leader Peter Malinauskas said he felt for families, "that will now miss out on spending time with their children at Christmas."
