Peter Malinauskas says the state’s hospitals had one of their worst periods in terms of demand last week and SA health is now racing to prepare for a COVID surge.

South Australia will boost hospital capacity to handle COVID-19 patients amid forecasts for case numbers to increase sharply.
New Premier Peter Malinauskas said SA Health had been asked to look at ways to ensure hospitals were better prepared in light of recently updated modelling, which pointed to 8000 cases a day within the next few weeks.
“What you will see in that modelling is that case numbers, even with current policy settings, are set to escalate in a rather significant way,” Mr Malinauskas said.
“South Australians are entitled to know where we’re at.
“People have seen case numbers go up and that looks as though it’s continuing in the very near future.”
Mr Malinauskas said a briefing with health officials had revealed SA hospitals were under extraordinary strain and had one of their worst periods last week in terms of demand.
That resulted in a decision on Friday to cancel some elective surgery, he said.
The new premier has also signalled a shift in the way the SA government manages the pandemic, with a decision to abolish the COVID Ready Committee and put responsibility in the hands of a sub-committee of the state cabinet.
He said the Emergency Management Council would have more authority to make decisions.
Mr Malinauskas said more broadly he had a desire for SA to fall into line with other states in terms of ongoing virus rules.
Amid concerns around the latest virus modelling, SA will keep its mask mandates and isolation rules in place but the premier said more would be said on those rules on Friday after the first meeting of the Emergency Management Council.
SA reported another 3686 new virus infections on Tuesday with 165 people in hospital including 11 in intensive care.

Health Minister Greg Hunt is optimistic about the future of the pandemic in Australia, saying the country's response to COVID-19 has beaten expectations.

Health Minister Greg Hunt is optimistic about the future of the pandemic in Australia, saying the country's response to COVID-19 has beaten expectations.
The nation on Sunday recorded seven virus deaths and more than 40,400 new cases, while almost 2100 patients were in hospital with 102 in intensive care and 21 on ventilation, according to state and territory figures.
Mr Hunt, who's retiring at the upcoming federal election, believes Australia remains in an enviable position globally.
"We are a stronger and a better country than many acknowledge," he told Sky News on Sunday.
"The resilience of Australians, the fact that we have had one of the lowest rates of loss of life in the world, one of the highest vaccination rates."
Mr Hunt said the federal government, the general population and thousands of nurses, doctors, pathologists and health sector workers had helped the country bounce back from COVID-19.
He said his one regret about the pandemic was not spending more time with his family.
"I've never been as good a dad as I would have liked to have been," Mr Hunt said.
"You try to be present, but even when you're there in person you may not be fully present because of the demands of the role, which is what you sign up for.
"But having said that, I leave optimistic about Australia."
His comments come after the COVID-19 outbreak intensified ramping at hospitals, particularly in NSW, South Australia, Victoria and Queensland.
Paramedics are planning industrial action against the NSW government on Monday by refusing to leave their posts to fill gaps at other ambulance stations.
The 24-hour action on Monday is part of ongoing union efforts to improve emergency responder staffing and pay.
"We're taking action to demand a better resourced service. We want a fairer workplace for Paramedics, and improved coverage and care for our communities," Australian Paramedics Association NSW president Chris Kastelan said in a statement on Sunday.
The union is pushing for an additional 1500 paramedics that it says are needed to turn around deteriorating ambulance response times across the state.
It also wants a pandemic payment, and a pay rise of more than 2.5 per cent.
Meanwhile in South Australia, a new Labor government has been elected partly after pledging to cut ramping times.
Incoming premier Peter Malinaukas will soon meet senior health officials and Police Commissioner Grant Stevens to discuss the state's health advice after winning the election on Saturday.
He also intends to amend SA's laws that impose restrictions and other measures including mask mandates, lockdowns and density limits.
"The act is not fit for purpose for a global pandemic that lasts for two years," Mr Malinaukas said.
In Victoria, the state government will offer subsidised and free TAFE courses to people looking to work in health care and other in-demand jobs.
Premier Daniel Andrews said the pandemic had highlighted the importance of skilling for the healthcare sector, as well as causing many people to reconsider their careers.
"If you want a job that really matters then now is the time to make a change," he said on Sunday.
The 10,000 extra TAFE places announced will cost about $61.6 million and won't be limited to healthcare courses. view all

新南威尔士州的COVID-19单例，突显出州领导人在呼吁国内边界确定性时，风险承受能力参差不齐。
西澳大利亚州州长麦戈文（MarkMcGowan）周五拒绝宣布该州是否会如期重新开放新南威尔士州，称他将等待周末有关悉尼酒店检疫人员感染的进一步健康建议。
尽管新南威尔士州当局透露，这名妇女似乎被感染了工作，无论是返回的海外旅行者还是航空公司工作人员，而不是在社区。
华盛顿州计划从下周二开始向新南威尔士州和维多利亚州开放，取消来自这些州旅行的14天检疫要求。
维多利亚州边境仍按计划开放，但新南威尔士州要到周一才能做出决定。

Peter Malinauskas says the state’s hospitals had one of their worst periods in terms of demand last week and SA health is now racing to prepare for a COVID surge.

South Australia will boost hospital capacity to handle COVID-19 patients amid forecasts for case numbers to increase sharply.
New Premier Peter Malinauskas said SA Health had been asked to look at ways to ensure hospitals were better prepared in light of recently updated modelling, which pointed to 8000 cases a day within the next few weeks.
“What you will see in that modelling is that case numbers, even with current policy settings, are set to escalate in a rather significant way,” Mr Malinauskas said.
“South Australians are entitled to know where we’re at.
“People have seen case numbers go up and that looks as though it’s continuing in the very near future.”
Mr Malinauskas said a briefing with health officials had revealed SA hospitals were under extraordinary strain and had one of their worst periods last week in terms of demand.
That resulted in a decision on Friday to cancel some elective surgery, he said.
The new premier has also signalled a shift in the way the SA government manages the pandemic, with a decision to abolish the COVID Ready Committee and put responsibility in the hands of a sub-committee of the state cabinet.
He said the Emergency Management Council would have more authority to make decisions.
Mr Malinauskas said more broadly he had a desire for SA to fall into line with other states in terms of ongoing virus rules.
Amid concerns around the latest virus modelling, SA will keep its mask mandates and isolation rules in place but the premier said more would be said on those rules on Friday after the first meeting of the Emergency Management Council.
SA reported another 3686 new virus infections on Tuesday with 165 people in hospital including 11 in intensive care.

Health Minister Greg Hunt is optimistic about the future of the pandemic in Australia, saying the country's response to COVID-19 has beaten expectations.

Health Minister Greg Hunt is optimistic about the future of the pandemic in Australia, saying the country's response to COVID-19 has beaten expectations.
The nation on Sunday recorded seven virus deaths and more than 40,400 new cases, while almost 2100 patients were in hospital with 102 in intensive care and 21 on ventilation, according to state and territory figures.
Mr Hunt, who's retiring at the upcoming federal election, believes Australia remains in an enviable position globally.
"We are a stronger and a better country than many acknowledge," he told Sky News on Sunday.
"The resilience of Australians, the fact that we have had one of the lowest rates of loss of life in the world, one of the highest vaccination rates."
Mr Hunt said the federal government, the general population and thousands of nurses, doctors, pathologists and health sector workers had helped the country bounce back from COVID-19.
He said his one regret about the pandemic was not spending more time with his family.
"I've never been as good a dad as I would have liked to have been," Mr Hunt said.
"You try to be present, but even when you're there in person you may not be fully present because of the demands of the role, which is what you sign up for.
"But having said that, I leave optimistic about Australia."
His comments come after the COVID-19 outbreak intensified ramping at hospitals, particularly in NSW, South Australia, Victoria and Queensland.
Paramedics are planning industrial action against the NSW government on Monday by refusing to leave their posts to fill gaps at other ambulance stations.
The 24-hour action on Monday is part of ongoing union efforts to improve emergency responder staffing and pay.
"We're taking action to demand a better resourced service. We want a fairer workplace for Paramedics, and improved coverage and care for our communities," Australian Paramedics Association NSW president Chris Kastelan said in a statement on Sunday.
The union is pushing for an additional 1500 paramedics that it says are needed to turn around deteriorating ambulance response times across the state.
It also wants a pandemic payment, and a pay rise of more than 2.5 per cent.
Meanwhile in South Australia, a new Labor government has been elected partly after pledging to cut ramping times.
Incoming premier Peter Malinaukas will soon meet senior health officials and Police Commissioner Grant Stevens to discuss the state's health advice after winning the election on Saturday.
He also intends to amend SA's laws that impose restrictions and other measures including mask mandates, lockdowns and density limits.
"The act is not fit for purpose for a global pandemic that lasts for two years," Mr Malinaukas said.
In Victoria, the state government will offer subsidised and free TAFE courses to people looking to work in health care and other in-demand jobs.
Premier Daniel Andrews said the pandemic had highlighted the importance of skilling for the healthcare sector, as well as causing many people to reconsider their careers.
"If you want a job that really matters then now is the time to make a change," he said on Sunday.
The 10,000 extra TAFE places announced will cost about $61.6 million and won't be limited to healthcare courses. view all

西澳大利亚州州长麦戈文（MarkMcGowan）周五拒绝宣布该州是否会如期重新开放新南威尔士州，称他将等待周末有关悉尼酒店检疫人员感染的进一步健康建议。

新南威尔士州的COVID-19单例，突显出州领导人在呼吁国内边界确定性时，风险承受能力参差不齐。
西澳大利亚州州长麦戈文（MarkMcGowan）周五拒绝宣布该州是否会如期重新开放新南威尔士州，称他将等待周末有关悉尼酒店检疫人员感染的进一步健康建议。
尽管新南威尔士州当局透露，这名妇女似乎被感染了工作，无论是返回的海外旅行者还是航空公司工作人员，而不是在社区。
华盛顿州计划从下周二开始向新南威尔士州和维多利亚州开放，取消来自这些州旅行的14天检疫要求。
维多利亚州边境仍按计划开放，但新南威尔士州要到周一才能做出决定。
随着全国旅游的恢复，麦戈文一直坚称，如果出现情况，他会毫不犹豫地重新实施严格的边境管制。
他的挑衅姿态为他赢得了创纪录的支持率，但挫败了政治对手和一些商界领袖。
澳航首席执行官艾伦•乔伊斯（AlanJoyce）本周呼吁给旅客提供确定性，而新南威尔士州卫生部长布拉德？哈扎德（BradHazzard）则告诉麦戈万"要真实"，这引发了不屑一顾的反驳。
"我不认识这个人，"麦戈文上周五对记者说。
"新南威尔士州在过去八个月里没有完美的记录 - 西澳大利亚有。因此，我们只是想保持我们极其强劲的记录，我认为新南威尔士州或许应该担心新南威尔士州，我们会担心西澳大利亚州。
麦戈文表示，他预计新南威尔士州将进行"数千次检测"，从而确定没有未被发现的社区传播病毒。
联邦内阁部长彼得·达顿说，西澳大利亚州应该相信新南威尔士州有能力确定感染源。
"人们不能因为一个案例而被迫取消圣诞假期或与家人重新联系，"他告诉《今日九秀》。
但另一位莫里森政府部长，华盛顿州的克里斯蒂安·波特，支持总理的呼吁。
波特表示："如果你没有旅行，因为新南威尔士州有一个社区传播案例，那对州政府来说将是件坏事，但我认为，麦戈文总理做了正确的事，不立即做出决定，只是几天来考虑一下。
新南威尔士州在整个大流行期间都发现了当地获得的病例，但支持其检测和追踪能力，以取得任何集群的顶点，这与维多利亚州和南澳大利亚州经历的严酷封锁形成鲜明对比。
自4月以来，西澳大利亚州没有任何社区传播该病毒，国内旅行实际上以无限制的生活方式交易。
新南威尔士州和维多利亚州的旅行者被禁止进入西澳大利亚州近九个月，除非他们进入检疫，直到最近，获得豁免。
从南澳大利亚入境仍然禁止入境。 view all
