18.01.2022 South Australia Thank you! Thank you for getting tested when you have symptoms, or when you’ve been contacted by SA Health.

A special thanks to each and every one of the courageous staff, who are working tirelessly to get COVID-19 tests done across the state. We’d also like to thank: All others on the frontline, working alongside SA Health to protect South Australians. Everyone who is staying home, buying only what they need, and checking in on their loved ones. All the employees and businesses and making sure we don’t go without the essentials at this time. All other essential workers keeping South Australia going. Together we're going to get through this. Play your part and stop the spread.

Motorists are reminded to not queue across intersections, ensure that you leave enough distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you, drive slowly through the testing sites and ensure you have enough fuel if waiting in line at a drive-through clinic. After your test: Go straight home. Avoid contact with other people.

Remember to: Wash/sanitise your hands regularly. Cover coughs and sneezes with elbow. Wear a mask when you can’t keep 1.5 metres from others. Stay home if you are sick or if you have been directed to by SA Health. Get tested if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, even if mild, or as directed by SA Health.
