A short time ago I was informed that a family member has tested positive to COVID-19.
I have just confirmed with Public Health that in line with current public health requirements, I have been classified as a close contact.
I have taken a RAT which was negative, and I am now returning home to isolate for seven days, along with other members of my family.
I will continue to work from home and perform the duties of Premier.
The Deputy Premier, Jeremy Rockliff, will undertake those duties and responsibilities that I would normally perform as Premier during Question Time and for matters before the Parliament.
