          <by role="member" id="4867">The Hon. T.T. NGO:</by>  Allan is a resident of Virginia who is currently quarantining in a medi-hotel after returning from work overseas. Allan's mother-in-law just passed away and the funeral is this Thursday. The day of the funeral is 10 days into Allan's quarantine but SA Health has refused Allan's request for an exemption to attend the funeral. My question to the minister is: does the minister think it's acceptable that Allan is being denied an exemption to attend the funeral when similar exemptions have been granted in the past?</text>

WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:11):</by>  I certainly don't know the circumstances of the case to which the honourable member refers, but what I would suggest to the honourable member is that he advise the gentleman to exercise his rights to have the decision appealed. All decisions to grant or not grant an exemption are subject to appeal.</text>
