I welcome the attendees. My question is for Dr. Ronan Glynn. I thank him for all the work he has been doing on behalf of the people. Helpfully, on 19 August, he recorded a video on social media in which he outlined where the majority of the 1,200 cases that had emerged over the previous 14 days were from. He identified that 360 came from meat plants, 90 from direct provision centres, 40 were linked to construction, 200 to community transmission, 200 were under investigation and 3% were travel related. How many of those cases were attributed to sporting activities and, in particular, how many were attributed to spectators at sporting activities?
