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.
