Before Christmas I called for a greater use of antigen testing, or at least for the possibility of it to be explored in line with the Commission recommendations. I note that it will now be used in respect of ports. Is there not a role for antigen testing in our hospitals, in our schools, potentially, when they reopen, and in our airports in the absence of quarantine? Antigen testing could perhaps be used for people at least from safer countries to ensure that travel is taking place in a safe manner.
