🌊This isn't Wave 2 for SA-it's a cluster. And talking about it as if it is the start of Wave 2 may induce fear rather than caution and risk reduction activities.
Qld dealt with a cluster recently without statewide lockdown. Can be done.

🫂Occurrence of a new cluster of transmission in the community after months of none also isn't "inevitable", *unless* we agree that we can't manage quarantine at the border.

The other form of "inevitable": don't leave public thinking that despite daily population testing, SARS-CoV-2 can hide then magic 🪄out of thin air. It can't. It always has a source & a given % with serious disease we're likely to see, unless we fail to test/test enough
