I thank Dr. Nabarro for his presentation. I want to ask him a question about hospitals in light of his experience and of how they will operate going forward. Many of the normal procedures that are carried out in hospitals are resuming. Should every person who is admitted to hospital be tested for Covid-19 and, in particular, should every person be tested for Covid-19 within the hospital setting before he or she goes for a medical procedure or operation?
