I welcome Mr. Treyvaud. I have a brief question in regard to the rise in cases before Christmas and how things spiralled in December, January and February. NPHET and the Government are raising concerns with us in terms of the profiling that has been done. What are Mr. Treyvaud's views on what occurred last December versus what is predicted to happen over the next number of weeks, right up to September? How can high-risk sectors, like hospitality, bars and restaurants, counteract that argument, and implement safe measures? What are his thoughts on antigen testing as a risk mitigation factor? I would like to hear his views on the supports being provided by Government.
