When the Prime Minister makes recommendations to the states about restriction guidelines relating to COVID-19, each state must then consider how those recommendations will be applied. They are not enforceable in South Australia until the State Coordinator, Commissioner Grant Stevens, enacts a Direction.
The South Australian Directions apply to everyone living in, and entering, South Australia.
In March 2020, the State Coordinator made a Direction under the Emergency Management Act 2004 to limit public activities
