ICGP welcomes increased testing but wants quicker results

Dr Nuala O'Connor

The clinical lead on Covid-19 at the Irish College of General Practitioners has warned that if restrictions are lifted then there will need to be more testing so that anyone displaying symptoms can be tested quickly and isolated to stop the spread of the virus.

Dr Nuala O’Connor said she welcomed plans to increase testing, but she was concerned about the capacity to get results in a timely fashion.
