Coronavirus, Hotel Quarantine Workers

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:28): Supplementary: are workers who are tested at medi-hotels able to continue working while awaiting the results, as, typically, you are not able to do that?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28): My understanding, much like the cross-border communities that the Hon. Emily Bourke was referring to, was that when it's a scheduled testing you are not required to self-isolate. Having said that, if the person was presenting with symptoms, they would be required to self-isolate.
