Some questions for the Premier given her defence to @BenFordham on 2GB that NSW health protocols were “exceeded” and the ship captain may have misinformed authorities.

1. Why was the Ruby Princess even allowed to sail on March 8, given this was months into the pandemic?
2. Why weren’t concerns flashing given the Diamond Princess saga off Japan back in January?
3. As reported, the ship’s doctor notified NSW Health of unwell passengers and collected swabs for COVID - so why was the ship classed as low risk given 2700 people were disembarking?
4. Given that even people who don’t seem ill can have COVID-19 with minimal or no symptoms, shouldn’t NSW Health have gone above and beyond during a pandemic and screened everyone on the vessel?
5. Will the Premier now admit her government made serious mistakes and endangered public health?
6. Will she finally take responsibility and offer a public apology?
