On Sunday Premier Steven Marshall announced he was closing the state’s borders and any locals returning home would need to enter a mandatory 14-day self isolation period:
I understand that the decision to close SA’s borders will be hard on many South Australians and businesses. But we have taken this action to protect people’s health and save lives. These are unprecedented times and call for unprecedented measures. pic.twitter.com/gYN1odIt3G
