I welcome our guests and commend them on the work they are doing during this pandemic. I will ask first about the 193 outbreaks that were identified in nursing homes, as of yesterday. Has the HSE done any tracing in terms of those outbreaks? What percentage of them is a result of community-based transmission and what percentage is a result of infection in acute hospitals? Has any research been done on that yet?
