The woman in her 50s had recently arrived from overseas and had been quarantining in a Victorian hotel.
She had flown into South Australia and was exempt from the state’s 14-day compulsory self-isolation for compassionate reasons.
SA Health says she has very mild symptoms and is now self-isolating.
A good lesson if we intend to open the borders. NO-ONE is exempt.
Better that a few get inconvenienced than all of us.
I have to go back to Sydney in the next month or so. I'll expect to isolate there for 14 days (happy to do it so I don't catch it there!) and then 14 days back here if I come back. Is The Adelaide Club a designated ISO spot?
i think you have misunderstood the governments definition of "closed borders". it isnt the same as what i would define it as...
currently, you can cross the sa border whenever you want. if you are an essential worker, you go about your business. if you are not an essential worker, you get to sign paperwork that states the address you will be staying, and that you will isolate there for 14 days, and be subject to spot checks by sapol. but you still get to cross the border
once they "open" the borders, its open slather. no isolations, no paperwork etc. so if you head back to sydney after they are open, you wont have to do any of it. and technically, as NSW never closed their borders, you could go to sydney (or melbourne as vics borders are open as well) right now and not have to isolate, it would only be on returning to sa that you would have to.
for all for all of the "borders are closed" stuff they have been going on about, it isnt what the majority of people would consider to be closed
I know I obviously don't understand what "borders closed" actually means.
