Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Update on Testing and Tracing and Rising Incidence in the State
Mr. Paul Reid:
Specifically, what I am referencing is that the public health teams inform themselves on outbreaks and on a range of matters that inform their risk-based decision making. These matters can include method and levels of transmission in the community, levels of transmission within an outbreak, and the risks within that outbreak setting. There is a lot of knowledge that they possess.
