Coronavirus

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:04): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding public health. I know that the minister has outlined some of the elements of the requirements to be eligible for a COVID-19 test. I am wondering if the minister could give a concise outline of the requirements or guidelines, whatever they are referred to as, to be eligible for a COVID-19 test as it stands today?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:05): The Communicable Disease Control Branch of SA Health has advised clinicians that persons with a COVID-19 compatible illness who have been overseas or in contact with a known case in the 14 days prior to illness onset or interstate in the seven days prior to illness onset should be considered for SARS-CoV-2 testing.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary question.
