NEW Covid-19 World Service - Videos by Health Professionals in Different Languages

19/5/2020

0 Comments

 

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.

Wearing a Face Mask (Face Covering) During Phase 1 from 18th May

17/5/2020

0 Comments

 
More details on Phase 1 of Reopening Ireland are given on this website here

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.

Graph suggests deaths from Covid-19 may have peaked 10 days ago

18/4/2020

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.

Finding Meaning in Social Isolation

7/4/2020

0 Comments

 
We humans routinely behave in ways that are motivated by altruism, by the drive
to help others. 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.

Effective Use of Mindfulness

6/4/2020

  • COVID-19 is bringing unrivalled challenges for us as individuals, and • as part of a wider Irish society. It is important that we all as individuals do what we can to look after ourselves and also each other as we try to effectively manage this evolving situation.
  • If we want to check the facts then the best place to get information is from the HSE Website www2.hse.ie/coronavirus or www.HPSC.ie where there are regular updates relating to COVID-19 in Ireland.
  •  We are all facing practical and emotional challenges right now and in an effort to assist with grounding ourselves in responding as effectively as we can, we have put together a series of help sheets to provide information and steps that might be helpful.

5/4/2020

0 Comments

 
If you suspect that you have COVID19 Corona Virus symptoms, don't delay, advise centre management immediately so that they can contact a doctor. If you have to contact a doctor yourself, any doctor will support you if you think you have the  Virus.  If you need specific advice, if you call 1850 24 1850  When you get a reply, say "COVID 19" & your language e.g "Arabic".  and then someone who can speak your language will call you back to answer any health questions you may have.
You can also contact us at Brij at any time by email Brijcork@gmail.com

Stop the Virus - Clean Surfaces

2/4/2020

0 Comments

 
One way the virus transmits is touching a surface with the virus on it, then touching your face. 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.
