As restrictions are eased across South Australia from Wednesday, you need to stay in quarantine for the required period if you have visited an exposure site or have been directed to by SA Health.
If you visited a COVID-19 exposure location and you are required to quarantine:
▪Do not leave your home except in an emergency, to seek urgent medical care or have a COVID-19 test.
▪Do not have any visitors at your home.
▪Shop online or have family or friends deliver what you need to your door (do not open the door until the person delivering items has left).
▪The SA Health website will advise if other people in your household also need to quarantine.
How long do I need to quarantine for❓
▪The day you last visited an exposure site is counted as day 0.
▪You must quarantine for 14 more days since this date (or as advised by SA Health).
What do I do next❓
▪Follow the advice on the SA Health website.
▪Make sure you complete the online form to let SA Health know you were at an exposure site.
▪You must follow the advice on the SA Health website, even if you have not been contacted.
▪You may not always receive a phone call or SMS from SA Health. Due to the large volume of exposure sites and contacts, this is not always possible.

Important information for travellers arriving in South Australia from NSW or VIC as Cross Border Community Members.
As the situation in Victoria and New South Wales continues to evolve, the South Australia State Coordinator and SA Health advise that further restrictions are being imposed to travellers arriving from the Cross Border corridors.
People who have travelled from Mildura Local Government Area since 11 July 2021 will be required to quarantine for 14 days since arrival in SA and will be required to receive a COVID-19 test on days 1, 5 & 13. These people will be contacted from SA Health.
People are encouraged to limit their travel in and out of the Riverland area and are advised to seek testing for even the mildest of symptoms if they have been in this area.
Changes which will be implemented in the Direction from 12.01am 19 July 2021 are:
- New South Wales Cross Border corridor is now limited to the LGA of Broken Hill and communities in SA including Manna Hill, Olary, Tiaklina and Cockburn. Travellers outside of the corridor will no longer be permitted to enter South Australia unless an Essential Traveller or Permitted Arrival. Cross border corridor residents will still be permitted to enter SA however, only for a strict number of reasons. SA residents outside of the corridor travelling to Broken Hill will only be able to do so for essential work or with a health exemption.
- The Victorian Cross Border Corridor will be reduced to 40km (down from the current 70km) and the reasons that people are permitted to travel will also be reduced.
- The cross border corridor reasons for travel include:
- employment or education; or
- providing care and support to, or receiving care and support from, another person; or
- obtaining food, petrol or other fuel or medical care or supplies; or
- obtaining a COVID-19 vaccination.
