What analysis is carried out on the cohort who acquire the illness after a negative first result? I understood from earlier comments that the HSE was trying to identify these people. Does it correspond to a particular cohort?

I have spoken to someone involved in contact tracing. This person is aware of a small number of people who do not turn up because their presence in the country might not be regularised. I want to stress that it is a small number. Does the Department have any evidence of that?
