Coronavirus, Education

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:53): My question is to the Premier. When did the Premier first learn of the 19-page COVID-19 evidence update from SAHMRI regarding transmission in schools?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:53): I don't know the exact date, but obviously this was work that Dr Nicola Spurrier was keen to see. She was getting a range of information from a range of sources to form her opinion with regard to when it would be safe for students to return to face-to-face lessons at school here in South Australia. She relied on a lot of advice from different sources in forming her opinion.
