Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Direct Provision Centres

Ms Siobhán McArdle:

The second question relates to authorisation or information related to testing. The testing programme for Covid-19 towards the end of March related to people who presented with symptoms of the virus. At that point, people were advised to contact their GPs. They continue to be advised to do so and their GPs will discuss their clinical symptoms and refer them for a Covid-19 test. With regarding to mass testing, which is a proposal in this instance, I will pass the question to Dr. Kelleher as it is a public health query.
