That is the message from the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association.
Everything must be done to ensure meat processing plants remain open, according to a farming organisation.
Yesterday, Independent TD Denis Naughten told the Dail that up to 40 per cent of cases' close contacts have not been tested or communicated with, which has led to concerns among the spread of Covid-19 in communities.
Health Minister Simon Harris has said there have been some communication issues.
President of the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association, Edmond Phelan, says keeping the centres open needs to be a priority:
