"I understand, particularly in our multicultural community, that some members have come from countries where information doesn't remain private when you go to see your health official. Here in Australia, 100 per cent, when you go and see your doctor, it's confidential. When you talk to a public health official, no matter what what you've done, no matter how many people you've had to your place, you need to know it's confidential. You need to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Because that helps us get this virus under control. "
