The government announced a six day locked down on Wednesday to stamp out a new coronavirus cluster which has now grown to over 20 cases.

政府週三宣佈鎖定6天，以杜絕新的冠狀病毒群，目前已發展到20多例。

It's put Australia back on high alert after neighboring Victoria state emerged from its own lengthy locked down earlier this month.

在鄰近的維多利亞州本月早些時候從自己漫長的封鎖中走出來後，這讓澳洲再次進入高度警戒狀態。

As of midnight, all South Australian schools take away food.

從午夜開始，南澳州所有學校都要帶走食物。

Pubs, cafes and universities will be closed for business along with the construction industry, which has been allowed to operate as usual during past lockdowns in the country.

酒吧、咖啡館和大學將與建築業一起停業，而建築業在該國過去的封鎖期間一直被允許照常營業。

State Premier Stephen Marshall described the lock down as a crucial circuit breaker while medical experts raced to trace the latest virus strain.

州長斯蒂芬-馬歇爾將鎖定描述為一個關鍵的斷路器，同時醫學專家急於追蹤最新的病毒株。

Our concern is that if we don't have this circuit breaker that we will not stay ahead of this.

我們擔心的是，如果我們沒有這個斷路器，我們將無法保持領先。

There is no second chance to stop a second wave.

The new outbreak is linked to an Australian who arrived in the state capital Adelaide from overseas and entered mandatory quarantine in a hotel.

新的疫情與一名澳大利亞人有關，他從海外抵達州府阿德萊德，在一家酒店進入強制隔離區。

Hotel workers are believed to have contracted the virus after touching a contaminated surface.

酒店員工被認為是在接觸受汙染的表面後感染了病毒。

 South Australia had previously gone without a local transmission of the virus since October 31st. 

自10月31日以來，南澳州此前一直沒有出現病毒在當地傳播的情況。
