The Director-General can ask a medical officer of health to give them a report on any directions they have given under this part of the law. You might wonder what this means, so let's break it down: the Director-General is a person in charge, and a medical officer of health is someone who helps keep people healthy. The Director-General wants to know what directions the medical officer of health has given to help manage infectious diseases.
The Director-General can do this from time to time, which means they can ask for reports whenever they need to. This helps them keep track of what's happening and make sure everyone is following the rules.
The law that lets the Director-General do this is part of the Health Act 1956, and it was updated by the Health (Protection) Amendment Act 2016.
