New South Australian Premier, Peter Malinauskas, announced on Tuesday that his government is taking new steps to prepare the state for a predicted rise in COVID-19 cases.

This comes exactly two years after the Major Emergency Declaration and is based on modelling provided to the premier on Monday, which revealed that daily COVID-19 cases in April could exceed those seen in January, with hospitalisations from the virus reaching similar levels.
