SA lifts final virus border restrictions

South Australia has lifted its COVID-19 restrictions for travellers from the wider Sydney region, its last major border measures in place for any state or territory.

From Sunday travellers from Greater Sydney, the Central Coast and Wollongong will be allowed to come to SA.

They will not need to quarantine but will be required to have a coronavirus test on days one, five and 12.

They must self-isolate until they receive a negative result from the first test.

The change follows NSW reaching two weeks without a locally transmitted case of the virus.

It also means the freedom of movement between SA and other states will be at its highest since the start of the pandemic in early 2020.

South Australia reported no new COVID-19 cases on Saturday and has no active infections.
