I congratulate all the team on the work they have done and their co-ordination, dedication and follow-up in what have been, to be fair to them, very difficult circumstances where everybody has the answer and points the finger and knows how it could be done better. Those in the eye of the storm are usually in the best position to tell us how and when it can be done better. I also compliment the very large cohort of people who have observed the regulations to the letter. Again and again, they made the sacrifices, stayed indoors and kept socially distancing. A minority of people did not do so. Of course, that is always the case.

At this stage, we must look cold and hard at what lies ahead. In the next four, five or six weeks, there may be some indication of resurgence in certain areas. I do not know whether that will be the case. What would be the best thing to do in the case of an indication of resurgence of the virus in various locations throughout the country?
