Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases
Mr. Paul Reid:
Where the need arises, we have three responses. One, we would open some of our traditional swabbing centres. Two, we would deploy pop-up centres from the national ambulance service, which has been done a significant number of times throughout the country. Three, we would deploy the national ambulance service into a specific organisation or area, as needed, with paramedics carrying out the testing and swabbing for us. A combination of those three measures would be our rapid response.
