Over 20 doctors, and other healthcare professionals, from around the world, but living and working in Ireland, have voiced the video messages for this new Covid-19 World Service Initiative. This is a joint initiative of Nasc and Together Ireland. There are two videos for each language or dialect. The first is a general video with advice on how to prevent the contraction and spread of the virus. The second video has advice on what to do if you test positive for Covid19 or are a contact of someone who has. Please Note that if any of this video advice differs from what you are being told by HSE reps or Centre Management then it is your HSE Rep/Centre Management's advice that you must go along with.

There is now guidance on wearing FACE MASKS (Face Coverings) during Phase 1 of reopening Ireland from 18th May. Masks, made by ladies in Ashbourne & Kinsale Road Centres were given to residents in all Cork City Centres. Face masks are mostly about you preventing the spread of the virus from you yourself to others when you may have it but have not yet started to feel the symptoms. You are therefore caring for others by wearing a mask. Face Coverings are NOT MANDATORY but you are advised to wear them in areas outside the Centres where social distancing is not possible or is difficult to ensure - i.e. in shops, shopping centres etc. From a hygiene point of view and to prevent infecting yourself when wearing a mask, the Irish Government Guidance on Wearing a Face Covering here should be carefully adhered to. Please read it carefully and watch the video below.

It is Age Friendly and CLSP & Healthy Cities have complimented it with a great video (link with image below)     Click on the image below to view the video   RTE 18th April 2020 Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has produced a new graph that shows a different story about the number of daily deaths in Ireland from Covid-19 to date. He explained that what the National Public Health Emergency Team reports on a daily basis is the number of deaths notified to them on any particular day rather than the numbers who actually died on that day. He said that it can take a few days or even longer before any particular death is actually notified to them. The new graph depicts the number of daily deaths that occurred in any 24-hour period. This new analysis paints a very different picture to that suggested by the figures published to date. It suggests that daily deaths actually peaked ten days ago on 7 April at 39 deaths, although the reported total that day was 36.

Last year, in Worcester (UK) almost 5,000 people queued for hours in the rain to see if their stem cells matched those of a five year old boy battling a rare cancer. The images of fire services personnel in New York on 9/11 rushing towards the burning buildings to save others have become iconic, as have those of the White Helmets rushing into bombed buildings in Syria to save lives. Currently, the courage and kindness of our own health professionals, many returning from overseas, in putting their own health and possibly their own lives on the line is something for which we are all exceedingly grateful.

The virus enters your body by eyes, nose or mouth, leading to infection. One way to combat this is to clean surfaces with household disinfectant. (Provided by Centre Management) In rooms clean flat surfaces, drawer, wardrobe & door handles and any other surfaces frequently touched by yoyrself or others. Do the same before & after using bathroom facilities.
