COVID-19 Adelaide Airport Testing Clinic

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (15:20): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Health and Wellbeing a question regarding health.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: This morning, several talkback callers reported turning up at the Adelaide Airport testing clinic and finding the clinic closed well before its scheduled closing time. Caller Ali said, and I quote:

it was my family who arrived from Melbourne on Sunday evening…we have to decide to go to the nearest one which was the Airport, and guess what? The Airport at 8:40pm…closed…no explanation.

Caller Andrew said, and I quote:

…in the car we jump, we go down to the airport first of all…not a soul there…this had been shut lights out.

My question to the minister is: why exactly did the Adelaide Airport COVID testing clinic close early last night?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:20): I am advised that the SA Pathology testing facility at the airport did not close early last night.
