Peter Malinauskas has begun his role as the premier of South Australia on March 21, saying he is determined to back the current COVID-19 health advice in dealing with the CCP virus pandemic.

He does not plan to change what the Liberals formerly had in place, including getting vaccinated and carrying a mask at all times, even if they aren’t mandatory.
