Senator Walsh asked about the comparability. In Australia we've had outbreaks in 200 residential aged-care facilities, very unfortunately. That's 7.7 per cent of the 2,706 residential aged-care facilities in Australia. In the UK, of the 9,081 care homes, 56 per cent have had an outbreak. (Time expired)
