Today we have released our roadmap to a COVID safe economy in South Australia.
The first stage of restrictions will be eased from Monday 11 May.
As we start this road to recovery, we will continue to work closely with our health experts.
You can all be proud of how we have led the nation in our response. Now we must stay the course and continue working together to keep SA safe and strong. ... See MoreSee Less

Getting to this point was absolutely a team effort!
Thank you to everyone in the Barossa who has done the right thing. Together we stayed home, stopped the spread and knocked this cluster on the head!
SA Health has undertaken a risk assessment to determine the Barossa is no longer a region of high COVID-19 risk and consequently, has recommended that restrictions should be the same as are currently in place across the rest of South Australia.
SA's Chief Public Health Officer Professor Nicola Spurrier today wrote to The Barossa Council Mayor Bim Lange advising him of this exciting development.
As of April 26, a total of 42 cases from the area had been notified to SA Health's Communicable Disease Control Branch.
The majority (39 cases) were associated with two tour group clusters from the USA and Switzerland - these clusters were not linked and represented two separate introductions of COVID-19 from international tourists to the Barossa Valley.
Two cases were close contacts of a known case, and one case was a local transmission with no identified close contact. The most recent date of symptom onset amongst all 42 cases was March 31.

An important update regarding Barossa schools reopening in Term 2โผ๏ธ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ก๐ง ๐๐ก๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ฆโผ๏ธ
The stateโs Chief Public Health Officer Professor Nicola Spurrier has indicated that if there are no new cases of COVID-19 in the Barossa region between now and next Wednesday, Barossa schools, preschools and early childhood facilities can open a full service from Wednesday, April 29, 2020.
Advice from SA Health and Australiaโs expert health body, AHPPC, is that schools, preschools and early childhood facilities are low risk environments for COVID-19.
In light of that and the current low rates of infection in South Australia, students are encouraged to return to their classroom for term 2.
We respect the preference of parents and if you choose for your child to learn from home, remote learning options are in place.
Schools and preschools will be directly contacting the parents of enrolled children with this information.
