My final question relates to vitamin D. Last week, a group of experts and varying different disciplines of doctors appeared before the committee. They made a compelling case for the recommendation of a minimum level of vitamin D supplementation. Will the Minister give that some serious consideration? It seems that it has been put on the back boiler by NPHET. There is, however, compelling evidence from other countries, particularly Finland. We need all the help we can get in terms of our ability to respond to the threat of Covid-19. Can the Minister please address that issue?
