Will Dr. Mina comment on the self-administered as distinct from the monitored antigen test?

We did not discuss it but Professor Ferguson is keen on sustained rapid antigen testing. His model was to have people who have travelled from abroad isolate at home with rapid antigen tests being done every second day. Self-administered antigen tests would cut down on tests considerably compared with monitored tests. How does that feed into public health concerns? What do the Department of Health and HSE need to do to properly regulate antigen testing so that it works as an additional aid to public health in Ireland?
