Out of 47.

If we recognise that testing and tracing are going to be pivotal in terms of our recovery, those figures suggest we have a bit to go. When Mr. Jim Breslin was here earlier on, he referred to the fact that around 70% of negative test results are conveyed within 72 hours. Can Mr. Reid confirm that this is the case? Even with that, that would indicate that 30% of negative cases are not informed within three days. When is it expected that we will get that figure? When will we get to 98% of negative cases being informed within 48 hours, for example?
