Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: National Public Health Emergency Team

Dr. Ronan Glynn:

It is difficult to say yet whether that is the case because the earliest pop-up centres were only put in place approximately three weeks ago. Certainly our public health colleagues in the HSE are saying they have seen a very significant improvement in local level engagement, the willingness of people to come forward more generally and awareness among people in those communities of the need to isolate and get tested if they develop symptoms. Everything I am seeing suggests the centres have been a positive development and I think we need to continue with them in the weeks to come.
