Coronavirus

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): Supplementary arising from the original answer: if someone is showing symptoms but has not come into contact with someone from interstate or overseas, or has not themselves been interstate or overseas, are they eligible to receive a COVID-19 test as it stands today?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:08): I'm going to take all of these questions on notice, including the answers I have already given. The key point here is that clinicians are going to drive the testing criteria. Clinicians are going to drive the self-isolation requests, the COVID-19 tests on people who have had close contact with others. The particular response is driven by clinicians not directed by politicians.
