Mr. Dalton Philips:

The feedback is that there is a real reluctance to open up the borders. I am not a scientist, but I know that the data from the HSE's own website show that if one takes the incidence rates over 14 days, for any number of weeks, the average number of positive Covid cases attributed to foreign travel is less than 20, or less than 0.05%. We have been challenging around the need to get something that is rapid and scalable, and not just PCR, but LAMP or antigen testing.
