    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir; as noted in the First and Second Progress Reports, dated 7th April, 2020 and 14th April, 2020, during the initial faces of the work of this Ad Hoc Committee, we clustered emerging issues into five thematic areas. These are issues arising from Covid-19 Disease outbreak. The issues are as follows: (1) Health; (2) Economic and finance issues; (3) Social public order and human rights; (4) Access to food, water and basic commodities; and, (5) Support services and cross-cutting issues. Having already reviewed best practice from comparative jurisdictions and analyzed key issues and concerns arising from the five thematic areas as captured in the first and second progress Reports that are before this House and are available to the public, the Committee resolved to focus on one thematic area at a time for purposes of facilitating a more in-depth analysis of the issues arising in each thematic area. Accordingly, the focus of this Report is on the first thematic area of health. Subsequent progress reports will focus on the other thematic areas as captured above and from next week, we expect a report on economic and finance issues. That is the reason why the Chairperson of the Committee on Health will second this Report. In relation to this thematic area, we have deliberated extensively on issues relating to community health, testing, quarantine, isolation, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) facilities, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
