Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 370 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 27 May 2020 by Mrs L.M. Harvey

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — AL KUWAIT

370. Mrs L.M. HARVEY to the Premier:

Can the Premier confirm that the Western Australian state government was notified of illness on the Al Kuwait livestock vessel prior to it berthing, rather than by word of mouth two days after it berthing, as he indicated during yesterday's press conference?

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

An email arrived on Friday morning to a generic account at the public health emergency operations centre in the Department of Health that informed that there were some crew members who were unwell. The email itself said quite clearly that there were no concerns about COVID-19. That email was noted by the relevant staff.
