for Covid-19. From 20th January 2020 to 9th May 2022.
The reference number for your request is FOI-3776. Please ensure that
you quote this number in future correspondence with us concerning this
request.

Your request was received on 09 May 2022. The statutory timeframe for
processing your request is 30 calendar days and you should expect to be
notified of a decision from the department on or before 08 June 2022. The

third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
Other information
The department may impose a charge for the work involved in providing
access to the documents.  If this request attracts a charge you will be
notified in writing.
Unless you advise otherwise:
