I thank Dr. Nabarro for joining us this morning. I have four questions. What is the WHO stance on social distancing at the moment? Should we be maintaining the 2 m distancing in Ireland or is 1 m sufficient? In Dr. Nabarro's view, are people who have had Covid-19 now immune to the virus in future? What is the most recent view of clinical trials on the safety of hydroxychloroquine? Does the WHO anticipate that home testing kits for Covid might be available for each household this autumn?
