I thank Dr. Nabarro for his contribution and for his comments on face coverings and masks. He will be aware that there is a significant debate on this in Ireland.

There is also a significant debate around social distancing with the 2 m versus the 1 m discussion. Am I right in saying that if a decision was taken to move from 2 m to 1 m it would increase the importance of compulsory face masks, and face masks in enclosed spaces, as part of the cumulative playbook? Does Dr. Nabarro believe that temperature checks and antibody tests have a role in that cumulative playbook, and especially at our ports and airports?
