Help our readers to understand more fully by sharing your Covid-19 story

Have you, or someone close to you, been directly impacted by the Covid-19 Coronavirus.

If so, the Irish Examiner would like to play its part in highlighting the reality of the virus and its various impacts by sharing our readers accounts and unique experiences across our print and online platforms.

As the people most directly impacted by the virus we are interested in hearing your thoughts on what should be done now and how you feel this crisis will impact our nation and its health service in the future.

The submission can be a first hand account of your own experiences or a second hand account of how someone close to you was impacted by Covid-19.

Feel free to also pay tribute to those who helped or indeed did not help in you or your families battle against the virus.

Please feel free to attach a photograph and please indicate if you would prefer to remain anonymous.

Our newsdesk or one of our reporters will contact you if we decide to publish or follow up on your story and please be assured any request for confidentiality will be fully respected.

Please follow the link and submit your details and we will be in touch.
