Mr Andrews said there was work being done to better determine where cases are coming from. Here’s what he said about workforce breakdowns:
“I don’t want to feed your expectations that I’m able to go through every single workplace setting.
“What I can say, though, is we have got the first cut of a really significant piece of work and we’re a person presents or where a person works, for instance, is not necessarily where they got the virus.
“So, tracking back to the absolute source, trying to have a situation where it’s not just where you had it, but where you got it from, that is a good deal more complex than it might seem.
“I hope to be able to provide you quite soon with the detailed breakdown across the following types of settings — aged and residential care, schools, hospital and healthcare, student accommodation, backpackers, social settings, for instance, child care, disability settings, food premises, correctional facilities, laboratories, other primary family home domestic settings, and then that — the outbreak categories.
“And from a workplace point of view, warehouse, food distribution, retail, office, abattoir, supermarket, logistics, so on and so on.
“There is quite a bit of work that needs to be done to settle each of those numbers.
“But that’s the type of data I’m hoping to be able to provide you quite soon, which I think is what you have sought and what is available.
“But, again, I make the point — getting — having a clear understanding — we know who’s got it.
“We know where they were. But we don’t necessarily have in that fine detail an exact — the exact details of how they caught the virus and without that, it’s hard to then attribute it to whether it’s at home or whether it’s at work or in some other setting.
“But I wanted to reassure you that that work — work of that nature — to deliver that sort of product is well underway.
“We will be able to provide that to you as soon as possible.”
