Coronavirus

In reply to the Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (24 March 2020).

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

1. In accordance with the national guidelines at the time, the contact tracing undertaken for the Unley High School student determined that the infectious period for their infection did not include the bus trip.

2. Yes.

3. On 24 March 2020, the test criteria included persons with an acute respiratory infection or fever, who had travelled interstate or overseas, or were in contact of a known case; healthcare workers with acute respiratory infection and fever; and persons critically ill with bilateral community acquired pneumonia with no identified cause.

4. The AHPPC is guided by the testing criteria noted in the COVID-19 National Guidelines developed by the Communicable Disease Network Australia. The testing criteria have changed during the course of the pandemic. South Australia has followed the national guidelines, with the addition of specific high-risk settings.
