SA lockdown puts the squeeze on business
July 21st, 2021
Owen Inglis, owner of Adelaide Hills winery Sidewood Estate, estimates his business will lose about $200,000 in the seven-day lockdown ordered by South Australian Premier Steven Marshall to try to control a worrying COVID-19 outbreak of the fast-moving delta variant,
AFR reports.
Mr Inglis understands the need for a lockdown but the timing could not have been worse from a business perspective with Sidewood, based near the entrance to the picturesque town of Hahndorf, gearing up for its busiest weekend of the year.
The state-wide lockdown, which has also shut down construction sites and schools, has triggered the cancellation of the “Winter Reds” wine festival across almost 80 sites in the Adelaide Hills.

The lockdown is in response to the growing COVID-19 outbreak in South Australia, which has now been confirmed as being of the Delta variety, with the number of cases linked to the current cluster now at five.
“We hate putting these restrictions in place, but we believe we have one chance to get this right,” Marshall said at a press conference this morning.
“We have no alternative but to impose some fairly heavy and immediate restrictions to come in – at 6pm tonight, South Australia moves into lockdown.”
