May I add to it? We need to identify barriers to testing. We do not want to be asking people from remote areas or those with no access to cars to get on a bus if they suspect they have Covid. Not only will we consider the Deputy's constituency in this regard, we will also work with the HSE to ensure a similar approach in other identified areas where, for whatever reason, people find it more difficult to go for tests. We need to make it as easy as possible for people to get tests when they become symptomatic.
