Kerry's Louise Galvin: Elderly are 'collateral damage' in Covid-19 pandemic 

Virtually launching Cystic Fibrosis Ireland’s 65 Roses Day is Louise Galvin, Ireland rugby player and Kerry GAA footballer, with her golden retriever, Connie. Unfortunately, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland cannot proceed with their 65 Roses Day collections on April 9 due to Covid-19.

The elderly are increasingly becoming "collateral damage" in the pandemic, according to Kerry footballer Louise Galvin.

The former Ireland rugby star, who is also a specialist physiotherapist and returned to the frontline last year, has warned constant cocooning has led to a rise in sarcopenia, or muscle wastage, in pensioners.
