Covid-19: Testing and Tracing
Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Thank you for that. In terms of how we might deal with another future outbreak because, obviously, we have to do everything we can to avoid future mass lockdowns, are the advances in home testing, in mass testing way beyond the current capacity, in antibody testing and so on - are the advances in those technologies such that Professor Mallon thinks it likely that, this calendar year, those technologies could be deployed en masse to help with a much broader test, trace and isolate regime?
