COVID Bubbles

When you keep your distance, no matter how awkward it feels, you’re protecting yourself and those around you from the spread of COVID-19. But when you drop your guard, when groups get together, when you shake hands or hug someone you love, when you step forward instead of taking a step back, you could become exposed to the virus and so could the people around you. Help drive the number of cases down.  Keep your guard up.. #StaySafe #HoldFirm

Covid-19 - How to wear a face covering

We are all aware that wearing a face covering reduces the spread of COVID-19 in the community but only if worn properly, covering both your nose and mouth.

A cloth face covering should cover the nose and go under the chin and:

• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
• Be secured with ties or ear loops
• Include at least 2 layers of fabric
• Allow for breathing without restriction 

Covid-19 - Help prevent Coronavirus

From midnight tonight Thursday 15th October you can no longer have visitors to your home or garden except for compassionate or caring purposes.  For more info go to www.gov.ie.

Covid-19 Signs - stay safe, protect each other

With the number of Covid-19 cases continuing to increase we all need to know the signs. If you have a cough, fever, breathing difficulties or experience changes in your sense of taste or smell it might mean you have Covid-19 and could pass it on. If you have any symptoms, self-isolate and phone your GP for a free consultation.
