Two Victorian teenagers have faced court in Adelaide charged with breaching South Australia's COVID-19 directions.
Chol Manjok and Semain Akue Bol, both aged 19, arrived on a flight from Melbourne yesterday as prohibited travellers.
They were taken to the Pullman medi-hotel in Adelaide to quarantine but it has been alleged they did not comply with directions, including failing to remain in their rooms and not wearing a mask.
They were arrested and this afternoon the pair faced the Adelaide Magistrates Court via video link from custody, charged with failing to comply with Emergency Management Act directions.
Mr Manjok was also charged with disorderly behaviour and stating false personal details at Adelaide Airport, while Mr Bol was also charged with failing to give his identity to an authorised officer at Adelaide Airport.
Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said he had received advice "there was continual refusal to comply with simple instructions and that there was an element of aggression and non-compliance that saw them being arrested".
Neither teenager applied for bail during their brief court hearings and they have been remanded in custody to face court again later this month.
