@dfatirl @dfatravelwise @merrionstreet @IrelandEmbGB @IrlEmbPretoria just to be clear, if a passenger is transiting via a uk airport to Ireland does not require a pcr test? e.g. Spain - London - Dublin?

Sky Internet down again for 2nd time in a week...like seriously @SkyHelpTeam this is becoming a farce at this stage....

Top Dept of Health official Richard Pengelly has written to NI's health trusts to set out next stage of pandemic 'surge' plan. Key points:
🔷 They expect NI hospitals won't be able to give critical care to everyone who needs it
🔷 Large field hospitals being set up immediately

@RoyalMail @RoyalMail well when are you going to be serious about it and close all callers offices? People entering and coughing and not washing their hands, you're putting front line postal workers at risk...local offices are even appealing for PPE...sort it out.

PM @BorisJohnson gives an important update on #coronavirus

[Aaron Lawson @lawson185]

@JulieBarratt1 Agreed. The sooner everyone listens to government and environmental public health advice, the sooner we will get through this pandemic. Farmers could do local deliveries as an alternative to markets which will keep the rural community well supplied.

@safefood_eu @publichealthni @hpscireland @roinnslainte @healthdpt @trust_indi @BDANIreland @HealthyIreland washing hands adequately and social distancing cannot be understated enough!

[Aaron Lawson @lawson185]

@JulieBarratt1 I think it is socially irresponsible to go ahead with Farmers Markets due to the risk of lack of social distancing, and also the probable lack of adequate handwashing facilities for both farmers and consumers. Could EH setup controls and monitor prevention measures?

'When should I go to hospital?'

This Morning's resident GP @DrZoeWilliams gave @thewhitmore some clear advice on when home care might not be enough to manage symptoms of #coronavirus

[Aaron Lawson @lawson185]

We are all at risk, social distancing doesnt mean taking the family to the park or to the beach for the day, it means only going out for the essentials and in as less time you need to do so...dont be complacent

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

The Government is doing its best to stand behind you – and I am asking you to do your best, to stand behind our workers.

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

It is very important that people who are at very high risk protect themselves by staying at home at all times.

Guidance has been published listing these conditions and the actions to take.

the main question is, why was nothing done about it at the time, especially as it happened literally on their doorstep?

For anyone interested, this review paper published in March 2019 on Bat Coronaviruses in China predicted the ongoing pandemic. This article was published by scientists working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
