In reply to Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (25 March 2020).

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

As at 25 March (the day the question was asked), there were six cases of COVID-19 infection at South Australian schools, beyond the two cases at Unley High School.

To update the house, as at 13 May 2020, 18 school students or employees have tested positive for COVID-19.

Eight cases have been staff employed in South Australian schools or early learning centres.

Ten cases have been South Australian school students.

Appropriate procedures were taken to close and clean schools and advise parents.

There has still only been one known case of COVID-19 transmission within South Australian schools. This occurred from a secondary school teacher to a student.
