Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases

Mr. Paul Reid:

The Deputy has been a strong advocate of testing and tracing and has in-depth knowledge of the matter, so I will answer her questions as openly as I can, which I always try to do. Our approach has been to build a capacity of 100,000 in terms of our swabbing centres, labs and contact tracers. This is determined by the transmission of the virus, the case definition and the resources.
