As testing system comes under extreme pressure, Nphet considers easing of rules

The requirement for close contacts to stay at home was designed to minimise transmission of the disease by children to potentially vulnerable adults at home. This is less of a threat now that 90 per cent of the adult population are fully vaccinated.

A discussion paper drawn up for Nphet outlines that planning to move away from “open access or mass scale” testing is important as harm declines. Labour’s education spokesman, Aodhán Ó Riordáin, said safe ways to revise the system should be considered. He said schools were being forced to make their own decisions on exclusions.
