"Essentially they will have precisely the same obligations and the same rights as someone, whether it be for clinical support, financial support, from both the state or the Commonwealth, a whole range of other opportunities to be part of that primary healthcare response to keep them safe as they work through their infectivity," Mr Foley said.
The renewed restrictions came as Mr Foley revealed that about a third of people getting a PCR test were coming up positive for COVID-19.
