          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:44):</by>  In relation to the second question, I will take the honourable member's question on notice. In relation to the issue about schools' readiness, the education department released, if you like, a road map, a plan on a page—whatever one might like to call it—for schools and preschools earlier this week. It dealt with issues such as COVID-safe measures at schools, site operations, delivery mode and so forth.</text>
        <text id="2021111857af545846fb4686a0000527">There were two strategies: one for schools and one for preschools. I am sure there will be further advice coming out from the education department and also the fourth separate guidance document does also relate to childcare services, primary and high schools. As I said before, those separate guidance documents should be out in the next day or two.</text>
