CORONAVIRUS — HOTEL QUARANTINE
66. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Premier:
(1) Is the
Premier aware that a security guard involved in hotel quarantine has been stood
down and another is under investigation for noncompliance with the secondary
employment rule?
(2) Which hotel
were these guards working at and what are the jobs that these workers had?
Mr M.
McGOWAN replied:
(1)–(2) I
am unaware of any incident of that nature, but I do know that we brought in a range
of changes, indeed contractual arrangements, to ensure that people working in
hotel quarantine in those areas were required not to have another job in order
to protect the public. If someone has been stood down for breaching those
rules, that would be in accordance with the requirements that we brought in.
