South Australia Police conducted an operation targeting compliance with COVID SAfe Check-Ins using QR codes.
During the seven day operation from 22 January to 28 January, police conducted 846 compliance checks and found 732 businesses to be compliant.
Commissioner of Police and State Coordinator Grant Stevens said although the majority of businesses were doing the right thing, it is disappointing that 114 businesses were non-compliant.
“Police have continued with an education approach to COVID restrictions as we recognise things can change quickly, however by now we expect businesses to understand their requirements when it comes to ensuring people check into their businesses and have a COVID Marshal present,” the Commissioner said.
