Mr. Chair, thank you very much for the question on testing.
Everybody sees the necessity to have a testing strategy. This was especially true a few weeks ago, when we were in the reality of not having enough tests. We have ramped up, though not to the extent we wanted to. The thing is, if we are still limited by the number of tests we can do—and I think we still are, to a certain extent—then we need a strategy, and we need to prioritize.
Whom should we prioritize? We should prioritize the people who we think can be vectors of COVID-19. For me, what has been missing since the beginning is that we never had the priority of testing the front-line workers. I still do not understand that. This is something that, in all the epidemics I've worked on in the past, we always made readily available, especially when we knew that there were some asymptomatic cases, whereas for Ebola it's not exactly the same.
We know there's asymptomatic transmission; we know there's pre-symptomatic transmission. Therefore, I would advise front-line workers to be tested regularly, to make sure they are not going around...so we don't have a case like in Campbellton, where a doctor who was positive ended up exposing more than 150 people, and then there were at least 16 people who were part of that chain of transmission.
