Mr. Jim Breslin:

There has been a great deal of discussion. Officials on NPHET are on the staff of the Department. The first action was to put the passenger locator form into place, which was done speedily; it was first done on a voluntary basis and then last Thursday we introduced it on a mandatory basis. That was to address the fact that the compliance rate was running at approximately 70% and we have full compliance now.

As I said earlier, we are still at about 1% of the normal levels of overseas travel into the country, so we believe it is timely to be at 100% compliance. There is further discussion under way, not just within the Department and with NPHET but also with other Departments relating to the 14 days self-isolation period, with a view to going back to Government with a review of that and decisions being made.
