Perhaps the committee will write to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the chief veterinary officer because there is a huge focus on human containment. That is natural, makes complete sense and I support everything they are doing. However, we are seeing reports of second zoonotic events and a number of cases in North America of the little dogs people sit on their laps carrying Covid and introducing it to homes. We need to know some of the measures being planned. There has to be a parallel process and I would like the Chairman to seek that information.
