Covid-19: Testing and Tracing
Dr. Colm Henry:
In short, no. We have built up the capacity to carry out 100,000 tests but, as a result of reduced community transmission, the number of tests being carried out has decreased. The number of tests being carried out on those who conform to the case definition and on those who fall under our other testing strategies in respect of, for example, nursing homes and healthcare workers has now fallen below 20,000.
