Covid spike sees border restrictions remain

been set with the state’s transition committee to consider that issue on Friday.

The premier says SA can’t take any decision to lift border restrictions with Victoria in the current circumstances.

‘‘We are increasingly concerned about the outbreaks which are occurring in Victoria,’’ he told reporters yesterday.

‘‘At this stage, we cannot possibly lift that border [with Victoria] on the 20th July as we were hoping to do.’’

Marshall said the decision would also mean any AFL teams coming into South Australia from Victoria would be required to isolate for two weeks, as well as any returning SA teams that played in Melbourne.

‘‘We apologise to the many people who will have to make changes but our number one priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of all South Australians,’’ he said.

On Monday, 75 new infections were reported in Victoria, after 90 new cases over the weekend. – AAP
