Two people have died with COVID-19 and 2093 new infections have been recorded in South Australia, as Premier Steven Marshall also makes major border changes.
Mr Marshall on Friday confirmed two aged care residents were COVID-positive when they died and the deaths have been referred to the coroner.
The state had a record day for testing and case numbers, with 25,943 tests processed on Thursday returning the more than 2000 positive results.
"This is in line with the very steep increases that we're seeing right around the country," Mr Marshall said.
There are 44 people in hospital with the virus and are all in a stable condition.
Just days after moving to rapid antigen tests for incoming travellers, after originally requiring PCR tests, the state has now ditched test and permit requirements altogether, effective immediately.
"It was not a good use of our resources at the moment, and so the Entry Check requirement has been removed," Mr Marshall told reporters.
"The rapid antigen test requirement has been removed, but we are asking all of those people coming from interstate into South Australia to observe exactly the same situation that we require of all South Australians, and that is to monitor their symptoms and to take action should they develop any symptoms."
Double-vaccinated international travellers will also no longer need to isolate on arrival.
The government has also made the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory for workers in hospitals, aged care, residential aged care and residential disability sectors.
