I thank Dr. Glynn and Professor Nolan for their efforts to date, which the whole country appreciates. My first question is directed to Professor Nolan. We saw the significant outbreaks in food processing plants, particularly meat factories, over the summer. What other sectors, workplaces or venues is NPHET monitoring particularly closely for potential outbreaks of the virus? It seems to me that we may have other workplaces or social settings where there is particular danger of an outbreak occurring due to the nature of human contact in those settings. It would be good to know where those dangers lie.
