GPs welcome decision to widen criteria for Covid-19 testing

Monaghan GP Illona Duffy says widening the testing criteria will help contain the spread of the virus.

The Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) has welcomed the decision to widen the testing criteria for Covid-19.

People need to display symptoms of the coronavirus, for example, a cough, fever or shortness of breath and do not need to be a priority group, according to the change in criteria.
