SA Premier to repeat call for pre-flight coronavirus testing at National Cabinet meeting
South Australia’s Premier will again lobby National Cabinet for the introduction of pre-flight COVID-19 testing for all returning international travellers, amid ongoing concerns about new strains of the virus.
Key points:
- Steven Marshall previously raised the idea of mandatory pre-flight testing in November
- He will raise it again on Friday, along with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews
- It comes amid concerns about the threat posed by new strains of the virus
Steven Marshall previously raised the idea in November as part of an eight-point plan in the wake of South Australia’s Parafield cluster.
Under the plan, which would have to be approved by National Cabinet, all returning travellers would be required to undergo mandatory coronavirus tests.
