Smithson explained how the outbreak happened.

“We know for sure a female worker at a city hotel, and I can say the hotel, it’s Peppers Hotel in Waymouth Street, which is a medi-hotel,” he said.

“Her partner, her mother who is the 80-year-old lady, a brother who is a Yatala corrections officer, so you can imagine that sent Yatala into lockdown last night.

“So we know that there’s four, so there are another 13.”
