Dr Gabriel Scally: North and South must work together to fight coronavirus

“No health system in the world could cope with a full blown outbreak of the virus,” said Dr Scally.

Public health expert Dr Gabriel Scally has warned that the coronavirus “will not recognise the border” and said that this is the time for integration of services north and south.

“There need to be substantial cross border cooperation, sharing of resources, harmonisation,” he told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland.
