South Australia will leave all border closures in place along with local COVID-19 restrictions as authorities continue to monitor virus outbreaks across multiple states, including a worrying case in Broken Hill.
SA's transition committee met on Tuesday and resolved to leave all arrangements unchanged including border closures with NSW, Victoria, Queensland, the ACT and, most recently, the Northern Territory.
Locally, SA has general density rules in place allowing for venues to operate at 75 per cent capacity for seated activities and 50 per cent capacity for standing activities, including retail shopping.
Masks are also required in most venues.
"We are trying to be responsive as possible to make sure we are not holding restrictions in place longer than necessary," Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said.
"But it's about balancing the risk. The sooner we get past this and we can open up our borders, the better for everybody.
"At the moment, what we are facing in terms of the Delta strain and the spread of the virus in NSW, Victoria and the ACT dictates that we have these levels of protection in place."
Mr Stevens said SA was concerned by confirmation of a virus case in Broken Hill, although the border buffer, allowing local residents to cross, was closed over the weekend.
He said SA Health was looking at the circumstances surrounding the Broken Hill case and what implications that might have for regional SA communities.
The commissioner said he was not expecting any movement on local virus restrictions in the next week or so, although it was likely the transition committee would meet again within the next few days.
On Wednesday, Mr Stevens is also expected to release details of a report into a recent breach of Adelaide's quarantine hotel system in which a man left isolation and was in the Adelaide CBD for a number of hours before being detected.
SA Health reported no new virus cases on Tuesday.
The state has two active infections, including a man in his 20s who remains in hospital in a stable condition after being moved out of intensive care.
