COVID-19 Publicity

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:44): If the Minister sees this as a true partnership between regional papers and his office, why did his office not contact the very newspaper that was being immediately impacted and that community being impacted by a hotspot?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:45): I suspect the honourable member is not understanding the role of the minister's office in terms of a public health response. My office does not send out notifications in terms of exposure sites; it is done by SA Health communications.
