It is very much on the agenda and is part of the work safety protocol. Grants have been provided to schools, for example, for CO2monitors and other things like that.
NPHET, our public health adviser, is sceptical in respect of the benefit of HEPA filters. However, if the pandemic is going to be a long war - unfortunately, it may be a war - part of our vaccine plus response in the next couple of months, the next year or however long the pandemic will last may well be filtration, clean air and allowing more capacity in areas that are well filtered. It is something on which I will spend more time.
