Coronavirus Restrictions

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:27): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding public health. What are the conditions for easing COVID-19 restrictions, and what is the order of priority in which these are planned to be eased? Who has the final decision on when and what restrictions will be lifted?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28): I would just remind the honourable member that the person who is going to lead us out of the COVID global pandemic is the person that your party refused to hear from at the first parliamentary committee meeting this year. You may not want to listen to her now, but you will be hearing plenty from Nicola Spurrier as we gradually lift restrictions. She will continue to work with the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC).

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The Hon. S.G. WADE: This is the person who chaired the meeting that gagged the Chief Public Health Officer.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, continue.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: The easing of restrictions will be led in South Australia by the Chief Public Health Officer.
