Dr. Colm Henry:

All staff, including those in the disciplines to which the Deputy has referred, are being tested. We are not confining testing to the disciplines she mentioned. I will add, based on the Deputy's remarks on testing and transfer during March and April, that in the past 100 days we have learned so much about this virus from a very low base. I am speaking now with my clinical hat on again as a geriatrician. What we know now that we did not know then is the importance of atypical presentations in older people and asymptomatic transmission. It should be remembered that testing was directed by the case definition. People had to conform to the case definition, which was originally quite narrow, and testing depended on the presence of a fever or respiratory symptoms. That guided testing. What we know now, and what only became clear through international experience towards the end of March, is the importance of atypical presentations in older people and asymptomatic transmission.
