Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Contact Tracing: HSE (28 Oct 2020)

Denis Naughten: I will go through my questions and then ask the witnesses to respond. I accept that we are in a very difficult situation at the moment. We are seeing 1,000 cases a day, each one of which has numerous contacts. Let us take a step back to last month before this recent surge. A report, entitled COVID-19 Testing and Tracing: Roadmap to enhance capacity and turnaround, was published to great...
