South Australia has recorded its first COVID-19 case in 19 days — an overseas traveller who was given an exemption from quarantine.

Key points:
A woman in her 50s who recently returned from overseas has tested positive
SA Health said the woman had a "significant number" of contacts
The positive test comes amid an easing of restrictions in SA
SA Health said the woman, aged in her 50s, had travelled from the United Kingdom to Victoria where she had been quarantined in a hotel for less than a week, before travelling to South Australia.

She was given an exemption to fly to South Australia for "compelling family reasons" and was tested on arrival at Adelaide Airport.

Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the woman is now isolated and there is "no further risk" to anybody in South Australia.

 "I spent 15 years removing cats from fenced reserves and national parks," says Katherine Moseby. "And then, all of a sudden, I was putting them back in. It felt very strange to be doing that." It is a hot, intensely blue day in the Australian outback, about 350 miles (560km) north of Adelaide.
