Victorian abattoir Cedar Meats coronavirus contact tracing failure exposed – 7NEWS.com.au
A seven-day lag has led to calls to change laws.
It took more than a week for the Cedar Meats abattoir to give Victorian health authorities a full list of workers potentially exposed to COVID-19 during the states first wave.
A parliamentary inquiry wants law changes considered to help improve contact tracing for public health emergencies.
Current laws mean someones health information cant be disclosed without their express permission.
The number of COVID-19 cases connected to a cluster at Cedar Meats rose to 111 in May. Credit: AAP
