Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Update on Testing and Tracing and Rising Incidence in the State

Mr. Paul Reid:

I have two points. I might not even take the positivity rate on a daily basis as it has to be looked at over a period of time. From NPHET's perspective, they would take a whole range of measures, including the positivity rate but also the R-nought and others, into consideration. Dr. Colm Henry might make a brief comment as he is on NPHET.
