Viral Respiratory Disease Pandemic response Plan

In reply to the Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (7 April 2020).

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

1. Yes. Staff screening procedures have been established in all SA Health facilities, in line with the SA Health Viral Respiratory Disease Pandemic Response Plan.

2. The plan does not advise this. The intent of the plan is to provide whole of agency strategic guidelines to respond to COVID-19. It does not replace individual hospital work instructions, which would include clinical triage.
