Rapid Antigen Testing for Aviation and Travel Sectors: Discussion
Darren O'Rourke (Meath East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I thank our guests. Their contributions are very important, not least in terms of how they compared PCR and antigen testing and how they spoke about the way we use tests and how tests can be plugged into a strategy. Would antigen testing be used pre departure and post arrival? Would it be self-administered or carried out through a laboratory on site at, say, an airport? Will our guests comment on the cost and affordability and the implications that might have for international travel? Could antigen testing allow us to forgo having to quarantine at home, which is in place in Ireland at the moment?
