Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Briefing by Department of Health Officials

Dr. Tony Holohan:

I refer to what we might find as we go on and as this pandemic unfolds. I should make the committee aware, as it may or may not be aware, that this morning the ECDC published Surveillance of Covid-19 at long-term residential care facilities in the EU-EEA. It is hot off the presses this morning. It is recommending testing in respect of staff of long-term residential facilities at the rate of something like once a week.
