Professor Philip Nolan:

The good news we are seeing is that the disease continues to decline even as the Government slowly lifts some of the harder restrictions that we are under. Again, I am keen to avoid groundless predictions but the positive news we are seeing is that the number of cases continues to decline as we progressively open up. The international experience is that, as yet, with some exceptions, many countries have managed to maintain low prevalence of the disease and begin to go about their business, literately and figuratively, more completely.
