The centre will bring together senior health officials and representatives from police, the ambulance service, the fire service, the state emergency service and other government departments.

Premier Steven Marshall said the launch was part of the government's plan to tackle the spread of the virus.

"The health and wellbeing of South Australians remains our number one priority," Mr Marshall said.

"We are laser-focused on rolling out our plan to stay ahead of the curve by implementing practical, sensible measures.

"We are a government willing to do whatever it takes to manage these challenges, and are acting swiftly and decisively with our world-class clinicians to slow the spread of the coronavirus"

Special arrangements will also be put in place for SA's parliamentary sittings to allow legislation related to the coronavirus to be passed.

Parliament will resume next week on a modified program after discussions between the government, the opposition and crossbench MPs.

Pairs have been organised to allow MPs to be absent from the house to ensure correct social distancing.

Standing orders will also be suspended to allow MPs to sit anywhere in the chamber.

"The state government has reached an agreement with the opposition and crossbench to ensure state parliament can continue to operate effectively," Leader of Government Business Stephan Knoll said.

"Our priorities will be fast-tracking important legislative and regulatory bills and amendments to address the impacts of the coronavirus."

The government's measures are designed to safeguard the state's economy, businesses and jobs against the impacts of the virus.

The parliamentary arrangements will be re-evaluated for the sitting week beginning April 7.
