Coronavirus, QR Codes

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:12): Supplementary: if it is being used, then why has it not been rolled out more widely, and is it because the minister regards it as not effective or simply that it's too hard to use in terms of IT?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:12): It's not for me to have a view on whether QR codes are effective or not; I will rely on the very skilled SA Police who have been leading us during this major emergency and the public health clinicians that they work with. The QR codes will be helpful in terms of contact tracing data, but as I said in the answer to the Hon. Frank Pangallo, there are a whole range of other elements of that contact tracing system that come together to form an effective whole. I remind the council what I said in my earlier answers to questions in question time today, which are that the report of the Chief Scientist, Professor Finkel, has commended the South Australian contact tracing system.
