The government announced a six day locked down on Wednesday to stamp out a new coronavirus cluster which has now grown to over 20 cases.

It's put Australia back on high alert after neighboring Victoria state emerged from its own lengthy locked down earlier this month.

As of midnight, all South Australian schools take away food.

Pubs, cafes and universities will be closed for business along with the construction industry, which has been allowed to operate as usual during past lockdowns in the country.

State Premier Stephen Marshall described the lock down as a crucial circuit breaker while medical experts raced to trace the latest virus strain.

Our concern is that if we don't have this circuit breaker that we will not stay ahead of this.

There is no second chance to stop a second wave.

The new outbreak is linked to an Australian who arrived in the state capital Adelaide from overseas and entered mandatory quarantine in a hotel.

Hotel workers are believed to have contracted the virus after touching a contaminated surface.

 South Australia had previously gone without a local transmission of the virus since October 31st.
