Dr. Kevin Kelleher:

I spoke about this earlier and we have clear evidence. We got positive results as a consequence of some testing we did when we learned of outbreaks in some centres. We actually performed that type of mass testing in nine or ten centres. No cases were identified when we screened all the residents. That coincided with the information we were getting from elsewhere from mass testing. Outside areas with known outbreaks, testing produced very few, if any, positive cases. We are now very clear, therefore, that mass testing is not the appropriate way to go. It is far better to look at this issue in the context of testing known cases and being very strict and quick with that. That is what we are doing now as a consequence and we always do it very rapidly. Our testing is down to the point where results are available and back in 36 to 48 hours, at the longest.
