Coronavirus, Hotel Quarantine

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (14:39): What changes did the government make once they were made aware of Ms Spurrier's concerns?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:40): Let's be clear: Professor Spurrier leads the public health effort. If the honourable member is suggesting that Professor Spurrier has failed to make changes that she thought were necessary, I will take that on notice. What I would say is that we have been constantly improving our medi-hotel quarantine under the leadership of ProfessorĀ Spurrier and her world-class team, and we will continue to make improvements, as demonstrated by the fact that Professor Spurrier introduced mandatory testing of medi-hotel staff every week.
