My next question is about people who have a particular medical problem such that they are required to attend hospital regularly for medical review. Is there a process in place for moving them to safer accommodation? If so, are there many people in respect of whom the Department has had to use that process in order to be sure? I raise this question because where the virus has been identified in a particular centre, these people will move back and forth from a hospital to the centre. What kind of numbers are we talking about there? Is there a process in place for dealing with that?
