Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Public Health Measures: Update from Health Service Executive

Ms Niamh O'Beirne:

The public health departments do that. We have started that in Cork, where there has been a review of seven days and reduced the number in relation to community transmission as they found when speaking to cases that more of them were contacts of confirmed cases. It is being rolled out as capacity allows. As we get lower in the case numbers, we will do it on a routine basis across all of the 20% of cases that are currently in community transmission.
