South Australia could 'very soon' drop its COVID-19 border restrictions with NSW and the ACT, with a decision expected this week.
South Australia could drop its COVID-19 border restrictions with NSW and the ACT, with a decision expected as soon as this week.
Premier Steven Marshall on Monday said if the committee agreed to relax the border requirements he would act quickly if it's safe to do so. Mr Marshall told The Adelaide Advertiser on Tuesday Canberra in the ACT was likely to be the first jurisdiction to benefit from any change, followed by NSW. "When we can see NSW with no community transmission for 14 days, I think that will give us all great confidence that we can open that border safely."
