Coronavirus

In reply to the Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (24 March 2020).

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

South Australia has a world-leading testing regime based on these criteria, with 4.69 per cent of the population tested as of 19 May 2020, ahead of most other Australian jurisdictions and one of the highest in the world.

Clearly defined epidemiological criteria for COVID-19 testing are set by the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee.
