Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Can the witnesses give us a sense of where we are at with the planning? I thank the witnesses again for being here. I know they are incredibly busy men. I will start by asking Dr. De Gascun to give us a sense of how good our information is to date. Yesterday, the Department confirmed that we had nine new Covid-19 cases. That is a great number in that it is incredibly low compared to the numbers we have had in the past. Is it fair to say that Dr. De Gascun would have been able to guess where those nine cases would emerge before they happened? In other words, is our information good enough now that we can know that if there will be new cases next week, we can guess where they will potentially emerge?
