Coronavirus

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): Supplementary arising from the answer about advice about schools remaining open: can the minister advise if there have been any additional cases identified beyond those associated with Sacred Heart College, Unley High School and Scotch College?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:20): This government is maintaining its practice right through this pandemic, which is that clinicians give regular updates, in fact, daily updates; in fact, not only daily updates but daily updates seven days a week. I think it's probably about 10 days in a row that I have stood beside my clinicians as we have kept the community up to date. I am not going to become some commentator on case statistics or details. We need to have a clear, consistent voice on public health matters and that is the Chief Public Health Officer and her deputies.
