          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:22):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding COVID-19. In view of the minister's comments this morning that investigations are underway into the hotel quarantine outbreak:</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:23):</by>  I suspect the supplementaries will be calling for a royal commission, on this opposition's past form, but let's answer the primary question first. The investigations, at this stage, are primarily clinical, so therefore they are being done by SA Health. Our focus at this stage is particularly to identify when the infection might have occurred, because that is really important in terms of ruling people out and people in, in terms of their risk of developing COVID-19. The investigation will, of course, progress to an increased focus on how it happened, but to this point I am not aware of any evidence that would suggest a breach of protocols.</text>
