I understand that we were learning, everything was done in good faith and capacity was not available, but does Professor Mallon accept the following? I firmly believe that if the capacity had been available in March and April to test people who were being transferred to residential care from acute settings, and if patients had been tested prior to being returned to nursing homes, they could have been isolated for 14 days. It would have certainly made a difference.
