The changes for the Cross Border Travel Direction are as follow:
The Emergency Management (Cross Border Travel – Associated Direction No 32) (COVID-19) Direction 2021 came into effect at 12 noon Saturday 17 July 2021.
The following change is in place:
South Australian residents returning from Victoria are now subject of Level 4 requirements on arrival, irrespective of where they have travelled in Victoria:
- COVID Test day 1, 5 & 13
- Self-quarantine for 14 days
- Must wear a mask (covering nose and mouth) at any time they come into contact with the public for 14 days after arrival.
