Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Reopening the Economy: Supports for Business
Mr. Danny McCoy:
It is a source of disappointment to the business community that after a whole quarter, the system of tracking, tracing and containment has not been advanced in a way that would give us confidence that we will not have to face a future shutdown. We all appreciate that there may well be a second wave. With business having done its bit here, we would have liked to be in a position to have more confidence about tracking and tracing to ensure we can have more specific lockdowns, if they are needed, rather than the blanket approach we have had in the last quarter.
