Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Testing and Tracing
Matt Shanahan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank Dr. De Gascun. Can I ask about travel in and out of airports? Earlier, Dr. Henry mentioned that newer screening techniques were coming through that would shorten the screening time. I am aware of screening techniques that are coming through which will give a Covid response test in 20 minutes, potentially. I wonder if such a test can be made available would NPHET encourage that all people transiting into this country, particularly from affected countries, undergo a screening test at the airport and await a Covid response test before being allowed to leave?
