A two-year-old boy is in an Adelaide hospital after testing positive to coronavirus.
The toddler is a returned traveller who started to feel "very unwell" while in hotel quarantine, South Australia's Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said today.
"This little bub is quite unwell and has been taken to the Women's and Children's Hospital," Professor Spurrier said.

Professor Spurrier said so far the child's family had all returned negative tests.
"My thoughts are with this family today, it's not nice having a little one, only two, very unwell," she said.
Professor Spurrier said the given the age of the child, he would not have been wearing a mask on the flight he was on.
SA Health will do additional testing for anyone else on that flight including a day three test while the arrivals are in quarantine.

The little boy is one of two people in the state currently in hospital with COVID-19.
The other is a man in his 60s who is at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a stable condition.
