          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:04):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding public health. I know that the minister has outlined some of the elements of the requirements to be eligible for a COVID-19 test. I am wondering if the minister could give a concise outline of the requirements or guidelines, whatever they are referred to as, to be eligible for a COVID-19 test as it stands today?</text>
