I thank Dr. De Gascun for that. On foot of that, he will accept that with regard to adapting to living with the virus, it is important that we continue to investigate actively the possibly of rapid-testing infrastructure and advancing technologies in that area. I accept that there are still underlying concerns about antigen testing and the lack of a comprehensive study on it. Have the witnesses knowledge of any concluded or ongoing studies internationally on antigen testing? The aviation sector wants antigen testing in place because it is rapid but I have some concerns about it. Are there any ongoing large-scale studies?
