I welcome our guests. I join with others in commending the work that the men and women from every grade, group and category in the HSE and the broader health service have been doing over the past number of months and continue to do now.

My questions are, as ever, fairly simple. I ask Mr. Reid to outline how the HSE and the contact tracing personnel communicate with the Border Management Unit in regard to people who travel here through our airports and sea ports in terms of follow-up, which all of the available evidence suggests is scant and rarely happens. Does the HSE communicate with the Border Management Unit with regard to contact tracing, follow-up or additional testing that might be required?
