Currently, we are running at between 200 and 400 cases of infection a day, which is rising generally. If we went to 800 or 1,000 cases a day, what would that mean in terms of our tracing capacity? Mr. Reid has said that the HSE is meeting demand and in meeting demand, it has got above 90,000 tests, which I believe was the figure he gave. If meeting demand at the current level of infection is near our testing capacity, it seems to follow that if the number of cases starts to get near the figures we had in April, and let us hope this does not happen, our testing capacity would be overrun; it would be unable to meet demand. Is that a fair comment?
