Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Dr. Colm Henry:
It is important, looking at testing at the time, to recognise it was based on our understanding of the case definition. The case definition at the time presumed the presence of symptoms for Covid-19. We know since then, because of evolving evidence that did not come through until the beginning of April when it was published in medical literature, the significance of asymptomatic transmission and atypical transmission.
