Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Testing and Tracing

Professor Paddy Mallon:

It will be a test for the contact tracing platforms that have been put in place. That is the major concern. If we just completely open up our airports to all comers, the risk, in my view, is one that is not worth taking because of the potential consequences of widespread, unwitting geographical community spread of Covid-19 by people coming into the country.
