Not wishing to take sides on the issue except to say that South Australia has been very lucky to have less initial cases than most other states. Just about all of the cases we did have where from international and interstate travellers and yes the Ruby Princess debacle was a big problem. Not having a major international airport also helped
The State Government acted quickly and decisively with closing state borders and this has been instrumental in keeping the virus contained. A combination of simple good fortune followed by quick, competent government action.
As a result South Australians have enjoyed relatively more freedoms from restrictions than some other, more heavily populated states. All up, the " good luck gods " have shined on us and our state Government has done a quiet, but assured job of managing the crisis.
If you compare the population, number of cases etc SA is actually doing far worse than Vic.
That is probably true, but most of the cases S.A, have are clusters as a result of interstate cruise ship passengers including the Ruby Princess. By locking down the borders early, the S.A. government got on top of this problem quickly and reported cases have dropped quite dramatically since.
S.A. announced today that it was easing restrictions on winery cellar door sales which had been closed as a result of clusters in the Clare & Barossa valley regions. These clusters where traced to interstate and international cruise ship participants.
This begs the question --- Is this the first step in winding back restrictions in Australia
