15.01.2022 South Australian Premier Steven Marshall has just announced the closure of South Australias borders to all non-essential tra...ffic in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) from 4pm on Tuesday afternoon. Anyone enterting the state after the declaration will be required to enter self-isolation for 14 days. Twelve border control stations will be manned by SAPOL officers, and those entering the state will have to read the order and sign a declaration that they will self-isolate. He also announced that arrangements will be put in place in areas in regional South Australia near the border, and addressed the high levels of traffic between two communities close to the border for various reasons including schooling and healthcare. Those affected will be allowed to move within these communities once they have been identified. It was also revealed that there will be "logical exemptions" including freight. Premier Marshall said "It is absolutely crucial that at this time we keep our national freight moving so we dont have shortages here in South Australia"
