For public action

Adelaide Airport Cluster

Investigations are ongoing into the cluster of cases identified at Adelaide Airport, linked to 34 people. Further investigations have found cases in another type of airport worker.

Approximately 750 Qantas staff who have worked from Wednesday 18 March, across three specific staff areas within the Adelaide Airport, are now being requested to self-isolate at home immediately.

At this stage, no public areas are believed to have been affected, however, anyone who is sick with symptoms of COVID-19 and has been at the Adelaide Airport, including in the terminal or car park, should present for testing.

If Qantas staff have any concerns they should contact the SA Health Communicable Diseases Control Branch (CDCB) on 1300 232 272.

Barossa Cluster

There are 39 confirmed cases linked to areas within the Barossa region including Tanunda, Nuriootpa, Williamstown, Angaston and Lyndoch.

Anyone in these areas from Saturday 14 March 2020 who develops symptoms should immediately self-isolate and be tested.

Travel in or out of these towns should now be limited and any non-essential travel within the region is discouraged. Anyone attending work should adhere to social distancing guidelines and working from home is encouraged.

Information for Qantas staff at Adelaide Airport

There are a number of staff-only areas within Adelaide Airport where confirmed COVID-19 cases may have been. These locations are listed in the table below. If you have been in any of these areas since 18 March 2020 you must self-isolate immediately.

Affected staff will be contacted by SA Health Communicable Disease Control Branch (CDCB) in the next few days with more information and instructions. In addition, some staff may also be contacted by SA Pathology to facilitate COVID-19 testing. However, it will be CDCB who provide information about quarantine requirements.

SA Health are recommending testing of Qantas staff who have been in the affected areas even if they have only very mild symptoms or are asymptomatic (not showing any symptoms).

These staff will be required to be in quarantine for at least 14 days from their last exposure to the site.

SA Health are also testing these Qantas staff members prior to returning to work. It is appreciated if Qantas staff members who have only recently been on site are tested now so SA Health can quickly detect any more cases. However, Qantas staff members who are soon due to complete their 14 day quarantine period (i.e. in the next day or two) may prefer to wait for their test to avoid having two tests in quick succession.

Testing of Qantas staff is available through usual COVID-19 clinics and these clinics have been informed about testing of Qantas staff. Staff will not need a request form before attending a clinic.

For further information call the South Australia COVID-19 Information Line (8am to 8pm, seven days): 1800 253 787.

At this stage, no public areas have been identified as having been affected, however, anyone who has been to any area of Adelaide Airport (including the car park and terminal) and develops symptoms of COVID-19 must immediately self-isolate and seek testing.
