Video - Coronavirus: SA man exposed for deliberately misleading contact tracers

Police in South Australia have formed a taskforce that will investigate circumstances surrounding false information that led to the state going back into coronavirus lockdown.

South Australia's hard lockdown .. https://www.9news.com.au/national/coronavirus-south-australia-lockdown-impact-on-businesses-pubs-gyms-hotels-struggling/a02d271d-41ef-453b-9a79-bd84f3b08992 .. was eased sooner than planned following revelations a close contact linked to the Woodville pizza bar deliberately misled the state's contract tracing team.

"It's very clear that at least one person has not told the truth in regards to contact tracing," taskforce head Inspector Peter Harvey said.

"I'm confident we will get to an answer in a short amount of time."

Police could not confirm if the investigation is looking at criminal charges, but Inspector Harvey said "no stone would be left unturned".

Although some restrictions have lifted, others will remain from 11.59pm on Saturday, Premier Steven Marshall announced.

Three new coronavirus cases were confirmed overnight, however all were already in quarantine.
