I wish to add my voice to the thanks expressed to Dr. Holohan, Dr. De Gascun and Mr. Morris. It is easy for me to say that they will be busy for some time to come.

My first questions concern the summer period. It has been mentioned that a quarter of outbreaks were imported. Can I have the details? Were any learnings made at that stage?

Testing and tracing are a major part in communities, ports and airports. We will need a framework for same into the future. We have all heard the story about the guy who was a super spreader and gave the virus to 56 people. Most people have followed the general restrictions but one must make allowances for those who do not and how that can have a huge impact. What learnings have been made and where do we go from here?
