Dr. Tony Holohan:

I will take the questions in reverse order, if that is okay. We are not testing at the scale of 15,000 a day at the moment. We know that.

One of the things we wanted to bring forward and that we would have been discussing this morning in the National Public Health Emergency Team, but that meeting is not taking place, is the question of what would be next in our priorities regarding testing and where we would direct that capacity. In broad terms, the 3% positivity rate reflects what we think is happening in the community, but there are other categories of testing that we will have to prioritise into the future in the healthcare environment, for example, in hospital settings, although it will not just be hospital settings. As we increase, it is hoped, the amount of non-Covid-19 care we provide, testing both patients and staff will become a feature-----
