The Adelaide outbreak has similarities to the one in Victoria in that it also seems to have come out of a quarantine centre. In Melbourne, 655 people died after the virus escaped from two quarantine hotels and ripped through Victoria's aged care facilities. By Wednesday, it should be clear whether Adelaide is turning into a situation like that in Melbourne or one which is still serious but not so difficult to control like the one in Sydney. The outbreak may go one of two ways, according to Adrian Esterman, professor of biostatistics in the health sciences department of the University of South Australia. It may still happen if the situation in Adelaide can be contained relatively quickly but it is by no means certain. It looked then as though Australians would be able to travel between all states and territories except Western Australia by Christmas. It does seem particularly hard to take because Prime Minister Scott Morrison was upbeat on Friday. We will find out how serious the situation is over the next few days. A determined effort was being made to trace the contacts of the people in the original family who seem to have been the first to contract the disease. There's no question that the outbreak of coronavirus cases is serious. Nobody expected that to be the end of the matter. On Monday, there were at least another 17. On Sunday, there were four cases of COVID-19 in Adelaide.
