Restrictions lift in South Australia amid no new local cases

Restrictions will ease in South Australia as of today after a miner returning from the Northern Territory and his family tested positive to COVID-19 last week.

SA Premier Steven Marshall said mask requirements and density limits would be lifted immediately.

Travel restrictions placed on Victorians will also be lifted, with anyone entering the state no longer required to get tested and isolate until returning a negative test result.

Home gatherings in SA will return to 200 people but a COVID marshal and check-in codes will be required for gatherings of that size.

Dancing and singing will return, as will drinking while standing up.

Licensed venues are back to 75 per cent capacity and the three people per four square metre rule returns.

Buffets and shisha bars are no longer banned.

Mr Marshall flagged if there is no significant rise in cases in the Northern Territory or Western Australia, border restrictions to those states could be lifted sometime this week.

Currently there is no expected change with New South Wales as the state continues to record a significant number of daily coronavirus cases.

"The transition committee will meet again this Thursday to look at the borders particularly with Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland but we are very pleased with the way that the situation is moving," Mr Marshall said.

SA recorded only one new case today in a medi-hotel in a returned overseas traveller.
