25.01.2022 CROSS BORDER UPDATE Thank you all for your patience today. The new SA Order for entry to South Australia has kept us all on our toes - especially the requiremen...t for testing every 7 days which was a surprise for us all. I’ve been in regular contact today with the Cross Border Commissioner, a number of key representatives along the state border and the SA Govt. We are working through the issues, hopefully tomorrow will be easier. Here’s an update on a few key matters that have been most topical today. TESTING REQUIREMENTS We’re still working through the issue of COVID testing every seven days for cross border community members. This has been raised at the highest level in SA Health and we will continue to pursue it tomorrow. At this stage you can get tested on the major highway border crossing points between 8am and 4pm. However, I believe one point ran out of tests today, trucks were being turned around, and the limited hours is creating issues for truckies that may cross the border at any time. This isn’t working for SA either as they can’t get fuel or goods into the South East. Not being able to access asymptomatic testing in Victoria is also problematic, and further, testing is limited or just not available at all in Victorian cross border communities. We have raised this with the Victorian Govt. All I can really say at the moment is there is a lot of people working on it and I’ll keep you updated if (when) things change. TESTING EXEMPTION FOR CHILDREN To clarify, children under the age of 16 are exempt from the testing requirement on entry to SA. See clause 14, section 4, part c in the SA Order here: https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au//Emergency-Management-Cross CASTERTON IS WITHIN THE 40KM LIMIT The SA map drawing team are getting their rulers out and we’re hopeful a corrected map showing Casterton rightly within the 40km the border will be issued soon. OTHER ISSUES There are many individual issues that we are working through. It’s really hard for me to keep up with the many messages to different posts I get on FB, so please forgive me if I miss something. If you don’t hear from me against your comment, please send me an email as it’s much easier to keep on top of (my awesome staff won’t let me lose track of it!): [email protected] Thanks for your understanding. Thanks also to everyone for your patience with SA Police. They’re doing a great job under really tough circumstances and are learning the rules just like us. Let’s be kind and try to work though this together.
