Mr. Kieran Christie:

The Senator asked what are the big issues for us. The most immediate big issue that our members have relates to the whole area of close contacts. When there is a cluster or an outbreak in a school, it can be quite unnerving and unsettling for our members. The issue generally revolves around an inability to understand how close contacts are determined - who is and who is not a close contact. There have, for instance, been cases where one sibling has not been regarded as a close contact of an infected case whereas another sibling may have been.
