I'll have to come back to you with some advice on that. I think it's a very legitimate question. We have been concerned to ensure that residents, as I have indicated earlier, continue to receive the care. There have been some services that have been suspended by service providers during the outbreak. I know that some of those services have subsequently recommenced, because I've made some specific inquiries with respect to some of those myself. But I'll have to check and I will come back to you with specific details around what charges may have continued, or not.
