I am sorry but all I can do is work on the basis of the figures on the HSE website. The most recent figures indicate that 3.8 days is the median time for tracing: "All contact tracing is completed within 3.8 days (median) – including all complex cases". I am just going by the figures the HSE is publishing on its own website. The dashboard indicates the period from referral to the communication of a result is 2.2 days. Ms O'Beirne is referring to an additional day for referral, which makes it seven days.
