Stop the Spread
Stop the spread of COVID-19. Get information and resources to help protect yourself and others from coronavirus.
Face masks are an additional physical barrier and help to stop the spread of COVID-19.
At this time in South Australia it is not mandatory for the general community, but it is recommended to wear a mask when out in public if you are unable to physically distance.
Children under 12 years of age do not need to wear a mask, as they may not be able to handle it safely.
Masks or face coverings should NOT be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
Please be respectful to others as reasons for not wearing a mask are not always obvious.
The best ways to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 continue to be:
Face masks (covering mouth and nose) are mandatory at all times while on an airplane or at any airport during your journey.
People present at an aiport in South Australia must also wear a face mask.
There are some exemptions to this requirement.
