No, the government doesn't collect individual facility shift data. I don't think that is a level of detail that we should go to. As I have indicated to the chamber recently, we have done some calculations of the number of shifts that we believe might not be being filled based on the number of staff that have had COVID. Based on some information as of 4 February, for affected facilities we believe the accumulative infection rate is nearly 13 per cent of the workforce on average and just over five per cent concurrently. That relates to the impact on facilities of COVID-19 and therefore the shifts that are being held, particularly in relation to COVID.
