Coronavirus Contact Tracing

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:50): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Health and Wellbeing a question regarding hospitals.

Leave granted.

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS: On radio this week, the Premier responded to questions about revealing the personal information of a COVID-19 patient. He said:

[No] I stand by my comments. That was the unequivocal health advice that I had received.

My question to the minister is: what exactly was the unequivocal health advice that your department provided?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:50): I refer honourable members to the statement of the Assistant Commissioner of SA Police, Peter Harvey. In a statement issued on 2 December 2020, he said:

The initial investigation indicated the first conversation with contact tracers was misleading. That conversation was central to information provided by SA Health to decision makers preceding the lockdown.
