The testing is available for anyone
who has concerns. We are not limiting it. It is for anyone who has concerns. I understand
that this is a significant issue for the community. The Chief Health Officer
was on site today and answered a number of questions from the community. As I said,
the Department of Health is leading the response and will continue to do that.
I reiterate that the testing is available for everyone and anyone who is
concerned.
The SPEAKER : That concludes
question time.
