Note up until recently these were the only 3 states that were taking in any form of Repatriation flights.
They actually did pretty well over in SA if you look at the case numbers per capita. At the start of the pandemic they had the 2nd highest number of cases per capita and even now have had higher number of historical cases per capita than QLD, WA and NT. They had very high rates of testing and good contact tracing that got some genuine community transmission under control early on. Victoria on the other hand had very low rates of testing until the recent outbreak.
