Hon Dr DAVID CLARK: Yes. As a quarantinable disease, the Epidemic Preparedness Act also applies to COVID-19. That means, for example, that an epidemic notice could be issued to allow for a temporary relaxation of health practitioners registration and practice requirements under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003. This could be used to make it easier for health professionals that are not currently practising to return to the workforce if required, although there is no suggestion at this stage that this will be required. These powers were last enabled in 2014 when viral fevers such as Ebola were named as a quarantinable disease.
