Dr. Cillian De Gascun:

We touched on this earlier. It is an interesting discussion because we know the prevalence level is very low now. It is a question, therefore, of how best to target individuals in the healthcare setting and to obtain usable and helpful information. If we test everybody on a Monday morning and the virus is not detected in any of them, that does not tell us anything about the rest of the week. It is important that testing, in and of itself, does not come to be seen as a shield against infection. What we really want to do in our hospitals is ensure we have sufficient staffing, PPE, infection prevention control training and support for all our healthcare workers because they are at the front line. Testing, in and of itself, however, is just one component. As I stated, work is ongoing to identify the best way to use testing to support our measures over the coming weeks and months.
