SBS granted access into a South Australian Indigenous quarantine camp, helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples who are locked out of their remote homes due to the pandemic.


About 300 kilometres north of Adelaide, in Kuyani [Country, a community-led initiative is hoping to save the lives and culture of those considered among the most vulnerable to coronavirus.
