Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed)

Dr. John Cuddihy:

The 1.7% is specifically in healthcare workers. In the general population at present, travel-associated cases in people who have travelled are still in relatively small numbers. We have, however, seen significant transmission, when people return to the country, among their household and other contacts.
