I have a question for all the witnesses. Is the perfect the enemy of the good? We have been speaking about the need for rapid testing and a number of rapid tests are starting to become available. I have given information to NPHET in respect of rapid testing with a basis in antigen testing. There does not seem to be an appetite to implement something where a test could be turned around in 20 minutes. It is about time we started looking at deploying some of these technologies to try to get on top of the rate of community transmission.
