"Unfortunately, I do have to report that we had a transfer last night of a male in his 60s from Tom's Court to the Royal Adelaide Hospital who was required to go to intensive care," Dr Emily Kirkpatrick said this morning.
"He is in a stable condition requiring some oxygen and I understand will hopefully be moved to the ward later."
