The lockdown ended at one minute past midnight on July 28 amid confidence the latest cluster of Covid-19 infections has been contained. Business SA chief executive Martin Haese says 2500 emergency support payments have already gone out to local companies that are unlikely to salvage any of the money lost from the forced closure over the past seven days.
