Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Tony Holohan:

We want to see the resumption not being dependent on any of that form of testing. We do not think antigen testing is viable enough for the reasons that we have already set out. If people are vaccinated and follow the other public health measures then we think it will be safe for airline travel to resume without the reliance on that testing. So the question again is for what purpose would that validation exercise be done at this point in time.
