In terms of testing, the validated antigen testing is now going to be used in hospitals over the next number of days. The committee, in its aviation report, recommended that there would be fast-tracking of research on the use of antigen testing.

When does the Minister expect the legislation will come through to put those particular measures into effect and how long does he anticipate they will last?
