South Australia has reported another 1846 COVID-19 cases as the state moves to reduce some local restrictions.
From Saturday density limits in hospitality venues will rise from 25 per cent to 50 per cent for seated patrons.
SA will also reintroduce paediatric elective surgery and will scrap the need for people to use QR codes at retail venues, including supermarkets.
Premier Steven Marshall said the latest modelling of the Omicron outbreak showed the changes would not lead to another surge in virus cases, even with next week's return to school.
He said the general decline in daily case numbers was expected to continue.
"We're very satisfied with the way we are working in South Australia. Working positively together means we can reduce these restrictions," he said.
"We are 100 per cent convinced this is the right way to go."
SA's new cases on Friday were below the state's seven-day average of 2047 while hospitalisations also fell marginally to 285.
Of those, 24 were in intensive care and four remained on ventilators.
Mr Marshall said it was expected further changes to local restrictions would now be considered on a fortnightly basis.
