SA Premier vows to support resource strained Vic government

almost 4 years in news

South Australian Premier Steven Marshall says he is dedicated to supporting the Victorian government as it responds to the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

“We now have in excess of 30 people from South Australia, whether they be epidemiologists, paramedics or nurses on the ground assisting,” he said at a press conference on Monday.

“If Victoria do well in getting on top of these outbreaks then we will do well as a nation.

“We will be doing everything that we can to support Victoria during this really difficult time.”

Mr Marshall said the boarder closure between NSW and Victoria would give comfort to the Transition Committee which has been working on how to safely reopen the state’s borders.

“We don’t want to keep our boarders in place one day longer than we need to,” he said.
