Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Testing and Tracing

Professor Paddy Mallon:

We are there in the majority of hospitals. In the majority of hospitals, the turnaround time is within four to five hours and no more than 12 hours. All tests are back within 24 hours. That is where it needs to be in the community and I am not quite clear, with these different testing tracks, what the average turnaround time is or what proportion of community testing is actually picked up in 24 hours.
