South Australia decided to enter a state-wide lockdown after learning a man with Covid-19 had lied about his link to a pizza shop, police say.
The strict six-day lockdown began on Wednesday after the state detected 36 infections, including its first locally acquired cases since April.
But the order would have been avoided if a man had told health officials he had worked "several" shifts at a pizza shop, authorities said.
He had said he was a customer there.
"To say I am fuming is an understatement," state Premier Steven Marshall told reporters on Friday.
Australia has relied on lockdowns, widespread testing and aggressive contact tracing to push daily infections close to zero.

How hard would it have been to verify the story before shutting down?
