          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:34):</by>  Sorry, I think I am understanding the member's question now: would it be possible to dedicate one of the series of lifts to only COVID-19 patients? I don't think that would be feasible. I could reference how many people went through the Royal Adelaide Hospital for COVID clinic testing yesterday but I imagine it would be in the order of 200 or so. There are many hundreds of people who go to the hospital every day and, considering that, as I understand the honourable member's question, a lift has been dedicated for staff, to dedicate it to a whole series of dedicated streams I doubt would be feasible, but I will certainly put that to the hospital and see what advice I can get for the honourable member.</text>
