South Australia lifts hard border with Greater Brisbane but some restrictions remain

South Australia has lifted its hard border with Greater Brisbane and will allow most travellers to leave quarantine from today.

It means people from Greater Brisbane or Byron Bay will only need to be tested on days one, five and 13 when arriving in SA.

But they will not be allowed to enter high-risk health sites or attend large events with COVID management plans.

A small number of travellers who have been at coronavirus exposure sites will not be allowed out of quarantine until their full two-week stay is over.

“Through their [Queensland’s] excellent contact tracing they’ve been able to establish where every single one of their cases had caught their infection from,” Acting Chief Public Health Officer Michael Cusack said.

More to come.
