14 July 2020

There is a significantly higher risk of COVID-19 in South Australia because of the current outbreak in Victoria.

Action is required by the South Australian community.

If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how mild – please get tested.

Symptoms may include fever, cough, fatigue, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath or loss of taste or smell.

Do not go to public places if you are unwell – this includes work, education, childcare, shopping centres, sporting events, social or religious gatherings.

Public sector employees working in health, aged care, disability and other front line service roles working with vulnerable people should especially seek testing for any mild symptoms.

Help stop the spread.
