Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ivan Bassato:

I thank the Deputy. In answer to the first question, the rapid test is an antigen test made on a nasal swab sample. The name of the product chosen by the Italian health authorities is SD BIOSENSOR. This is in use in Rome but it may be that in other locations in Italy, other products will be used.

Information regarding the clinical performance of the test is not available to the airport authorities. I am sorry to say this again but it should be requested from the health authorities operating the testing.
