For example, let us say a family with a mother and father and three children were coming back to Ireland for Christmas and it is something they had been looking to do for a long period of time. It is my understanding that children under the age of 11 do not have to get tested. Let us say one of the children is 14 and that child comes up as positive on the antigen test. Maybe it is a situation where the child has recovered from Covid and got a positive result even though he or she has recovered from Covid. What is process in place in terms of being able to get families to come home as a unit, in a safe way in terms of public health, to visit their families in Ireland?
