SA coronavirus transition committee decides to reopen border to NSW if no mystery cases
ABCSouth Australia will reopen its borders to New South Wales from late tomorrow night, as long as there is no community transmission of coronavirus recorded in NSW today. Key points: People entering SA from NSW will no longer have to do a 14-day quarantine The border relaxation will come into force from Thursday morning People already doing a fortnight's quarantine will have to complete it From midnight on Thursday morning, NSW residents entering SA will no longer have to do 14 days' quarantine — provided the NSW Government confirms on Wednesday that no-one acquired COVID-19 from an unknown source on Tuesday. "Subject to no community transmission occurring in NSW between now and midnight tonight we will open the border from midnight tomorrow," he said. Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the reason the NSW border could now be opened was that there had been no community transmission in that state in 14 days. Dr Spurrier said the taxi driver was "not representative of community transmission" since NSW Health knew how he contracted coronavirus.
