Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Covid-19: Discussion
Dr. Tony Holohan:
We want to change those arrangements. As I said, we need to be sure that we have allowed sufficient time to observe the resumption of the school year, which is only two weeks in the case of primary schools. We are not that far away from being able to have that certainty, if it is there. We remain hopeful that we will be in a position to change that in the near term, not just for schoolchildren but in terms in testing, contact tracing and the wider public health management for society as a whole.
