The South Australian government will close its border to greater Sydney after a coronavirus cluster in the New South Wales capital jumped to 70 cases.

Premier Steven Marshall says the border will close to Sydney from midnight on Sunday and checkpoints will be set up to test people for COVID-19 at the NSW road border crossings and at Adelaide Airport.
