What can South Australia learn from Victoria's coronavirus outbreaks and response?

ABC  

As Victoria moves closer to eased restrictions, South Australia has tightened its coronavirus rules and quarantined hundreds of people to respond to a growing outbreak in Adelaide. Hotel quarantine lessons 'seem not to have been learnt' South Australia's Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier has said the connection between the outbreak and a quarantine hotel, known as a medi-hotel, is "very clear". But Professor Esterman said "South Australia has always had a very strong public health system" with a proven track record of contact tracing. "In some ways, we're more in line with what's happened in New South Wales, where they've had these outbreaks and managed to crush them," Professor Esterman said. She said South Australia's ban on aged care staff working across different facilities would hopefully mitigate any spread, "but I do think this is a federal problem".
