If there was a uniform system across Europe like the traffic light system, one that involved pre-departure tests two hours before someone travelled, it would not eliminate the risk, but it would reduce it. Dr. Holohan referred to a risk of 15% of imported cases not being identified, but surely such a system should be welcomed and endorsed by NPHET. We cannot remain in this situation forever. We need to move on, especially where an important industry like aviation is concerned.
