Concern

Echoing The Anglo-Celt's story in today's newspaper, Dr Siobhan Ni Bhriain, Consultant Psychiatrist and HSE Integrated Care Lead, said; “There are still concerning reports that attendance to

emergency departments is unusually low. This concerns us.
“Everyone should continue to seek medical intervention if concerned about their health. Do not ignore symptoms of illness because of fear of contracting COVID-19 or fear of imposition on healthcare staff. The health service is there for everyone and all medical concerns.”
Earlier today, the US further criticised the WHO's handling of the pandemic and cut funding, to much international condemnation. 
Dr. Ronan Glynn, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, made mention of the WHO at today's press briefing. 
He said: “The World Health Organisation yesterday published its COVID-19 strategy update.
“This strategy re-emphasises the need for comprehensive public health measures to slow the spread of the virus, with additional capacity to respond rapidly to sporadic cases and clusters when they occur.”
