Donnelly added that the Government is currently looking at a medium-term strategy for current Covid-19 protections, like vaccines and testing. “We have a very large testing and tracing system in place. Between PCR testing and rapid testing, the HSE per week now is sending out about 1.8 million tests,” said Donnelly.

“They can’t be donated. The reason they go out of date, so to speak, is it’s the time that they’ve been taken out of the freezer,” he said.
