I have been involved in a number of large factory re-openings where mandatory temperature testing is required. If we take the case of a hospital like the University Hospital Waterford, where we have 500 beds and 2,000 care staff transiting through there, I do not think this measure should be delayed any longer. It is a simple zapping of temperature in the morning when healthcare workers are coming in and out, and I am not sure why we are delaying on it.
