Both doctors agreed with the call for the cancellation of family events with Dr O’Connor pointing out that “the virus loves when people get together, especially indoors. Ireland doesn’t tend to have small gatherings.” File picture: Martin Meissner/AP
Two general practitioners have said that the redirection of resources for testing from meat plants to the community was the correct thing to do.
Dr Ray Walley, who works in the Covid Centre in North Dublin, and Dr Nuala O’Connor, Covid lead with the Irish College of General Practitioners, were speaking on RTÉ radio’s Today with Claire Byrne show.
