'One GP almost crashed his car': Doctors shocked at Covid cert claims

Tániaste Leo Varadkar went on the airwaves to try and clear up the confusion 

A GP "almost crashed his car" when Minister Catherine Martin claimed on national radio that GPs would be issuing Covid-19 ‘recovery certs’ yesterday, the Covid adviser to the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) has said. 

Dr Mary Favier said there had been a "collective sharp intake of breath" when the Minister for Arts made the announcement, which later turned out to be incorrect.
