South Australia will extend its travel ban on Victorians to cover the entire state in response to the latest COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne.
SA had previously banned travellers just from Greater Melbourne.
Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the decision to extend the travel ban would better support the lockdown measures put in place in Victoria.
"We understand this will have an impact on people but it is supporting the requirement Victoria has imposed on its citizens," Professor Spurrier said.
The only exceptions to the new provisions will be Victorians who reside within 70 kilometres of the border, who will be able to come and go as usual.
Professor Spurrier said the increased restrictions also reflected the limited testing being conducted in some regional centres, as Victorian authorities concentrated on the areas of most concern in Melbourne and Bendigo.
The Victorian coronavirus cluster has now grown to 30 cases.
