State Government-commissioned modelling from Adelaide University released last month forecasts South Australia could record as many as 8000 daily cases in the coming days.
Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) expects an infection peak will hit in mid-April in several jurisdictions.
Police commissioner and state emergency coordinator Grant Stevens last week said the modelling shows South Australia could be at the “other side of the peak” by April 9 to 11.
Chiefxjmtzyw public health officer Nicola Spurrier, in line with the advice from AHPPC, has flagged that rules requiring close contacts to quarantine may be scrapped once South Australia gets to the other side of the curve.
