Thanks, Venus. That’s an interesting example. One more question from me about the systems that were used before Covid. Did health workers also use mobile phones to give the monthly/quarterly updates? In other words, the new element both the fact that health workers were giving weekly updates, and the fact that they were now using their phones to do this?

Thanks, and best wishes, Claire
