One Australian state has been described as the “safest place in the world” after recording no new virus cases for the past week.
With SA now reporting no new infections for a week, Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier says the state is in a good place.
“I think many people are surprised in Australia at how well we have done. Really, this is the safest place to be in the world, perhaps other than New Zealand,” she said. So far, South Australia has had 438 confirmed COVID-19 infections but 96 per cent are now considered recovered.
