COVID-19 Hotel Quarantine

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:45): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Health and Wellbeing a question regarding health.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: The three-page report released yesterday into the medi-hotel breach states, 'No high-risk infection prevention and control breaches were identified,' but it does not specify whether any medium or low-risk breaches occurred. It also stated, 'A HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning) review did not reveal any contribution of ventilation,' but the review document referred to is yet to be published. Finally, the report states:

Expert advice was sought from epidemiologists, engineering and infection prevention and control professionals.

My questions to the minister are:

1. Is the three-page report into the medi-hotel breach, released yesterday, the only investigation report or is there an internal more extensive investigation report?

2. Were any low or medium-risk infection prevention and control breaches identified as part of the Playford review?

3. Will the government release any hotel ventilation reports associated with the three-page medi-hotel report and also release the associated expert epidemiologist, engineering and infection prevention and control advice associated with this review?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:46): I thank the honourable member for her question and I am happy to pass on those questions to Professor Nicola Spurrier, the Chief Public Health Officer, and seek a response on behalf of the honourable member.
