Harrowing scenes are surfacing at the Peppers Adelaide medi-hotel in South Australia, where travelers who were already in a 14 day quarantine have been told that they have to undergo the 2 week process\u00a0for a second time.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n This has resulted in guests screaming from their balconies to be released from the hotel<\/strong>, where some are being forced to stay despite testing negative for Covid, according to\u00a0news.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n The standoff comes as the country tries to deal with a local cluster of cases that has more than doubled. More than 4000 people locally, who are considered “close contacts” have been quarantined, as a result.<\/p>\n Professor Nicola Spurrier, Chief Health Officer, said:\u00a0\u201cThese people have been advised to quarantine and they are being contacted on a daily basis for a symptom check.\u00a0This is a huge amount of work, as you can imagine, to make sure that we are in regular contact with these people.\u201d<\/p>\n The country has been able to identify 21 cases linked to one family cluster, which includes three young children and a baby. The state’s draconian measures are coming after reporting 18 new cases yesterday and 5 new cases today.\u00a0Including the hotel, there are now 34 active cases, with 3 of which coming from a nursing home in Adelaide.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The CEO of\u00a0the Anglicare Brompton Aged Care Home in Adelaide called it his “worst nightmare”. So far, all residents at the home have tested negative and are being tested daily.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_desktop\/public\/inline-images\/harrow1.jpg?itok=pvkE9LfT)
