16.01.2022 It's been a challenging year for many, including South Australia's Year 12 students, who've continued slogging away at their studies amidst a climate of upheaval and uncertainty. This year, with the cancellation of SA's largest Schoolies celebration, the Government of South Australia has partnered with Fresh 92.7 to deliver Home Schoolies, a broadcast event on Saturday 21 November from 12pm to 8pm. Police Commissioner Grant Stevens is encouraging all school leavers to celeb...rate their achievements at home, in a safe environment. "Plan well ahead with food and snacks. Don't risk driving after the party's started when you do not need to - just look out for each other, and keep everyone safe," says Commissioner Stevens. Chief Public Health Officer, Professor Nicola Spurrier, says Home Schoolies hosts should encourage their guests to be COVID Safe. "A limit of 50 people per household still applies, and it's important you know who has attended a party you host," says Professor Spurrier. Encounter Youth and their Green Team volunteers will also deliver a dispersed Schoolies response to support young people to celebrate safely.

06.01.2022 At this time in South Australia it is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended to wear a mask when out in public and you can’t physically distance (1.5m fr...om others). Please note: children under 12 years of age do not need to wear a mask, as they may not be able to handle it safely. The term ‘face mask or mask’ includes reusable cloth masks, and single-use face masks (commonly called surgical masks). At this time, ‘fitted’ face coverings, such as bandanas, scarves, or neck gaiters can be used if you are unable to find a cloth mask, or single-use surgical face mask. Face masks that have unfiltered one-way valves should not be used. Important things to remember about wearing masks: 1 Once your mask is on, it is important that you don’t touch or adjust the front of it while wearing it it’s the part that’s protecting you from COVID-19. If you do touch it by accident, wash or sanitise your hands right away. 2 Before putting your mask on and after taking it off, remember to thoroughly wash and dry (or sanitise) your hands.

The variety of responses to this question demonstrate just how easily a gel blaster can be mistaken for the genuine article. More than 100 gel blasters have been surrendered to SA Police stations since last Wednesday's announcement that the blasters have been declared as regulated imitation firearms. We thank those members of the public who have handed their firearms in. ... Owners not wishing to obtain a firearms licence must now surrender their gel blaster(s) to a police station (not Police Headquarters) prior to 7 April 2021.
