I appreciate that. I am just making the point that it would be helpful if NPHET representatives and the public messaging stressed the importance of good ventilation. It has been lost, and it should be more centre-stage, in my view. The general advice would concur with that.

On the question of when restrictions might be lifted, the approach that has been taken to date has been to introduce the various restrictions for a period of time. I recognise that NPHET had recommended that the previous level 5 restrictions be introduced with a view to bringing the incidence rate down to between 50 and 100. What is Dr. Glynn's view of the level of the virus at which it would be safe to lift the restrictions? I am talking about daily case numbers.
