Covid-19: Testing and Tracing
Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Thank you. With regard to measures around international travel, where is the technology in terms of being able to test people at the airports, specifically in terms of the turnaround times? My understanding is the very rapid, 15-minute testing is not advanced enough right now. If we were to put labs in the airports and the ports, could we do testing and have passengers wait for one hour, two hours or three hours, for example, instead of having to potentially self-isolate for two weeks?
