CORONAVIRUS — HOTEL QUARANTINE
77. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Further to my question, what were the additional jobs that these workers were
undertaking?

AnswerView source ↗

I do not have that information to
hand, nor do I have the answer to the other part of the member's
question, which was which hotel they were working at. The member, obviously,
will be familiar with the people who work in this industry and can imagine the sorts of extra roles that they take on from
time to time. As I have said, and as the Premier has said, ''It's
not on.'' That is why we are compensating them for having a single
employment role and that is why we are working closely with the contract
employers to make sure that we have proper oversight.
