SA deputy chief public health officer Emily Kirkpatrick said CCTV footage from the service station was being looked at to see if there was crossover with customers and staff.
Contact tracers are contacting 18 QR codes check-ins during the time period and are appealing for those who have visited the site during that time frame to isolate immediately and contact SA Health.
All people who visited the site in that time frame, as well as their families and close contacts must isolate and get tested.
SA Health reported that there were two workers on at the service station during that period, and one of them is symptomatic.
