Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Public Transport (Resumed)

Mr. Fintan Towey:

The purpose of those measures is to try to give the best guidance to citizens based on the public health advice. As part of that process, the public health expert advice has been engaged on the question of whether additional testing protocols would be beneficial. The advice has been that at the stage we are at, and given the status of testing, the case for that is marginal but it is not excluded. It is something we will continue to keep under review. We will assess what is happening in other countries and will continue to engage with our public health colleagues on this.
