Marshall called the individual’s behavior “embarrassing.”
“Just as we have acted immediately to put restrictions in order to keep South Australians safe, we are going to act to remove them much earlier than previously advised,” he said.
“I will not allow the disgraceful conduct of a single individual to keep SA in these circuit breaker conditions one day longer than necessary.”
The restrictions will be lifted ahead of time and the stay-at-home order will end at midnight on Saturday, when most businesses will also be able to open.
However, Marshall added that the threat to his status from the cluster of cases has not passed.
“This is still a very dangerous group and our health experts remain very concerned,” he said.
Coronavirus infections have slowed dramatically in recent weeks in Australia, and South Australia is one of the few places that still has community transmission of the disease.
The state reported three new cases on Friday, all of which are connected to the cluster and all infected people are in quarantine.
The state, home to around 1.8 million people, has recorded 25 cases of the latter group, linked to a traveler who returned from the UK.
The number of new cases was expected to rise in the coming days, but the outbreak was not as alarming as initially feared.
Marshall said the state will immediately ease some restrictions, including the ability for people to leave their homes to exercise.
