Chief Public Health Officer Professor Nicola Spurrier today revealed two samples were detected at the Bolivar Treatment works and one at Angaston.
The Bolivar sample later tested negative.
Professor Spurrier said the Bolivar catchment included city hotels while Angaston was a freight route frequented by truck drivers, including from interstate.
She said SA Health was looking to expand regional testing sites from 3 to 6.
She said while it was likely to the positive samples originated from an “active” – or infectious – patient, she could not rule out a mysterious case or was possible community transmission although unlikely.
Prof Spurrier, who announced the findings alongside Health Minister Stephen Wade and her deputy Dr Chris Lease, said the discovery reinforced a need for continued high levels of COVID-19 testing.
She said that anyone ill should have a virus check with even the mildest symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, sore throat, fever, headaches, and if a person’s taste or smell has suddenly disappeared.
Health authorities are confident there is no COVID-19 community transmission, in which an infection source remains unknown, throughout South Australia due to variety of factors.
Interesting concept testing at the plants. Also and interesting choice in Angaston treatment plant.
I would say they should tests them all, Christies Beach down South, Bolivar and Glenelg for the metro region's. Then loom at say Angaston, Hahndorf and Probably Murray Bridge to get a good soild sweep.

The detection of coronavirus in sewage and waste water does seem to be questionable science since the analysis relies on RNA fragments so one should not put too much reliance on it according to my reading of the literature.

From NSW Health
The virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, is just one of many viruses present in sewage. This research program detects viral fragments of SARS-CoV-2, not infectious viruses.
Infected people’s stools may shed viral fragments into sewage, and shedding can extend for several weeks beyond the person’s infectious period. Viral fragments can also enter the sewer when washed off hands and bodies via sinks and showers

I just read about the Sicktorian woman who tested positive and didn’t have a permit to enter SA.
It made me think about my flight on Thursday
No-one checked if I had a permit on the Sydney side
Surely with the small number of passengers flying into SA, they should be checking permits like visas.
There’s a fine for airlines that allow people to fly in from overseas with no, or incorrect, documentation
Maybe they should extend it to domestic

Hope so. Breaking away from the British Empire is just the answer for today's politically divided America.
