I have another question and I apologise for cutting across Professor Mallon. The INMO and others have called for daily temperature checking for health professionals coming into hospitals. Other countries deploy it for workers going into office blocks and, I believe, even for bars and restaurants. Advanced regimes such as those in South Korea, Taiwan and other countries do that. Does Professor Mallon believe that this should become one of the tools in our arsenal for containing or, ideally, eliminating this virus in Ireland?
