>> yeah, exactly. so this is also an aspect that makes this response to this disaster more complicated. as you mentioned, tonga is one of the few places in the world that has so far managed to stay covid-free and that is because they had very strict entry regulations and they are maintaining those because they are afraid that if now they would also have a covid outbreak on top of these two disasters with the volcano and the tsunami, that this would even be more devastating for the population. so we have staff on the ground, the u.n. has staff on the ground, and we are working through those. we are working through our partners. but we are not at that moment sending additional personnel. we are trying to help as much as we can remotely and with the pre-positioned supplies that we are sending in now. >> it is a challenge but it is a worthwhile cause and we appreciate your work. andreas, thank you for the time this morning.
