Life in South Australia may look a little different from when you last visited us, or if you haven't visited us, a little different to your home country. South Australia is a very safe place to travel to, with over 90% of people aged 12 years and over double vaccinated against COVID-19. Case numbers remain relatively low compared to other major cities in Australia and overseas, and as such we have been able to maintain a great quality of life.

South Australia remained essentially COVID-19 free, or what we call "COVID zero" until late 2021. Once the majority of our population was vaccinated, we opened our borders to the rest of Australia - allowing COVID-19 into the community. Naturally case numbers began to rise in early 2022 and we adjusted our way of life accordingly, but in reality it was meeting the "new normal" that many people globally have come to expect.

• We wash our hands regularly and expect you to use the hand sanitizer provided at the front of all shops, restaurants, bars and hotels
• We encourage social distancing and in some places it will be enforced
