Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases (Resumed)

Professor Philip Nolan:

Blood transfusion-based zero prevalence would often be criticised because it does not give a good random sample of the population. It includes only people who are giving blood. The system in this country is better than that system.
