The roadmap outlines how COVID-19 restrictions will be eased in our state, so our community can return to doing the things they enjoy in a safe and measured way.
Every state and territory is different, in terms of its geography and its people. We have taken into account our specific circumstances in South Australia.

Our public health response has also been strengthened, including broader testing and faster contact tracing with the COVIDSafe app.
