CONTACT TRACING
312. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the government's
announcement that exposure sites will no longer be published on the wa.gov.au
website as of 1 April 2022.
(1) Does a positive
result on a PCR test or a rapid antigen test, when reported to WA Health,
trigger contact tracing and notification of potential close contacts?
(2) If yes to (1), does such
contact tracing utilise check-in data from the SafeWA or ServiceWA apps?
(3) If yes to (1), does such
contact tracing utilise paper contact registers?
(4) If yes to (1), what is the
advice or direction given to potential close contacts?
(5) When was the last time WA
Health utilised information from a venue's paper contact register?
(6) How often are paper contact
registers audited for compliance?

Again, I make the point that the
agency has been asked to provide a lot of information in a very short time.
Despite that, the answer is that the member's question cannot be
answered in the time provided. An answer will be provided on the next sitting
day.
