- Level 2 – Minor Restrictions – The disease is contained in South Australia but is located within the Australian community that may pose a risk to South Australia.
- Level 3 – Medium Restrictions – There is a medium risk that the disease will not be contained in South Australia.
- Level 4 – High Restrictions – There is a high risk that the disease will not be contained in South Australia.
- Stage 5 – Stay at Home – South Australia is likely not to have the disease.
Depending on the level declared for South Australia, the density requirements, coverage numbers and allowed activities will be determined as described in the Public Activity Requirements table, which can be found here: https://www.covid-19.sa.gov. au / __ data /assets/pdf_file/0004/417091/Public-Activities-Level-Chart3.pdf
The key concepts introduced in this direction include:
- COVID safe requirements
- Density requirements
