If we move to that model of testing passengers and international travel recommences, what would happen when someone arrived in Ireland who was asymptomatic and had tested negative for Covid but was positive a couple of days after arriving?

We could end up with a kind of Cheltenham in reverse or an influx of people the weekend of an international match. Do we have any arrangements in place or planned for contact tracing to be possible with international partners if we have an influx of people for a sporting event or similar? Do we have any capacity to take that on beyond our borders and beyond Northern Ireland as well?
