“Whilst we may have seen fluctuations of case numbers in South Australia, we haven’t seen that specifically translated to ongoing and increasingxjmtzyw admission rates in our hospitals.
“So that is the key driver here.”
The easing comes as South Australia reported another 1735 new COVID-19 infections along with three more deaths today.
However, there was a significant fall in hospitalisations with the virus, down 50.
SA Health said on Thursday that two men in their 80s and another in his 60s were the latest virus-related deaths, taking the toll since the start of the pandemic to 172.
But it said the number of people in hospital had fallen to 142 from 192 the previous day.
