Grant Stevens (South Australia’s police commissioner) closed NSW borders June 23, and then placed quarantine rules upon Victorian tourists 24 days later.
The only exceptions to this were the essential workers or those who had been granted exemptions.
The border reopened at 12.01am on Tuesday and already nearly 30,000 people have been approved to return after five months of being locked out.
This despite the fact that 80 percent of those vaccinated were not at their target.
Over 15,000 applications for travel to SA came from applicants who were assessed to be from low-risk and very low-risk areas of Australia.

Marshall stated that the “strong pandemic response” had enabled us to transition safely into the next phase.
“Our wonderful businesses will soon see increased activity in the tourist economy, and this will preserve local jobs.
