Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed)

Dr. Kevin Kelleher:

As soon as it became apparent that we were going to move into this, which was from the last week or so of January, we started doing those sorts of things. I do not have the figures here and now but I can try to get them to the Deputy. At that time, we started seeking to procure whatever equipment we considered appropriate for what we thought was going to come, which included PPE, other equipment and drugs if necessary. We can seek that information but I do not have it right now. We had a meeting in the last week of January and the preparations started virtually from that point.
