We would like to thank the overwhelming number of visitors to our Aged Care homes who have rolled up their sleeves to receive their COVID-19 booster dose.
They are among more than 60 per cent, or around 616,000, of eligible South Australians who have now received their booster vaccination.
Visitors must remember to present evidence of their booster, or vaccination appointment, to reception upon arrival. In line with the State Government’s booster vaccination mandate, this
evidence will need to be viewed in order to be able to visit their loved one.
We are pleased to advise the COVID-19 situation across our Aged Care homes remains stable. Please see the below situation updates for further details about each site. As advised last week, we will now issue these twice weekly updates on Mondays and Thursdays.
