Coronavirus, Education

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:26): Supplementary arising from the original answer: does the AHPPC advice recommend that vulnerable workers, those who have comorbidities, who are older or who are Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders, not be in the workplace?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:26): The situation of vulnerable teachers—not only teachers who themselves might have a condition but also those who are living with people with chronic conditions—is certainly factored in to both AHPPC advice and state government policy. I have specifically heard the education minister highlight that that is a factor that they are trying to manage within the schools.
