When does the Minister expect the testing system to be in place for red regions? He stated that the current requirement to restrict movement for 14 days following arrival from a red region remains, but the Government agrees that as soon as practicable, that can be waived following a negative result from an approved Covid-19 test taken five days after arrival. He further stated that the cross-departmental technical group has to come back with a plan to implement a testing system by 10 November. When does the Minister anticipate that the testing system will be in place for red countries?
