Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:

Our information to date is that children are not that severely affected by Covid and tend to recover fairly quickly. The best clinical advice we have had is that they are best dealt with by general practitioners, who are very experienced in dealing with post viral illnesses in children, or general paediatricians. We have commissioned a review from HIQA looking at models of care and that will include children and how other jurisdictions are looking after children. That is our approach to children at this point in time.
