          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:35):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I would certainly commend the SA Health website but also, to be frank, the DPC COVID-19 website. All citizens would find that the information load that is required in the COVID context is challenging, as we are constantly having changes to directions, depending on whether it is an internal situation or external situation. I appreciate that all citizens are going to need support to keep up with information.</text>
        <text id="20201117f308c794e3e4452c90000099">In that regard, I suppose another information source that I would bring to people's attention is that, if they do need detailed information about directions, that's also available on the www.legislation.sa.gov.au site. Also, the police website is particularly useful when it comes to directions and the like.</text>
        <text id="20201117f308c794e3e4452c90000100">There is a range of sources. I suppose in a way the range of sources can be a challenge, too. For example, I think you'll find the directions are accessible through almost all of those. It is something that we are learning from. This is the first pandemic we have done, and I thank the honourable member for suggestions and opportunities to improve.</text>
