Mr. Paul Reid:

I will answer the Deputy's last question and ask Dr. Colm Henry to reply on antigen testing. We mobilise units through the National Ambulance Service into areas where the disease is spreading rapidly. We have done that on a few occasions, particularly in the three counties where there was an outbreak, and in north and north-west Dublin. We mobilise those units quickly. That serves two purposes, namely, to support the extra referrals that are coming through and to make public to the people in those areas the prominence of the virus and encourage them to come forward, through their GPs, if they have symptoms.

I will ask Dr. Henry to answer the question about antigen testing and schools.
