Covid-19 (Justice and Equality): Statements
9:05 pm
David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I inquired today about the health of people in direct provision centres who have contracted this virus, as have many citizens of Ireland, and I am told that none of them is very seriously ill. I wanted to report that good news. Some people have symptoms only and others have no symptoms. Anybody who has been tested has been moved to an isolating facility.
The HSE has confirmed to us that there should be no movement into or out of the centre at this time unless directed by public health. Residents have been asked by the HSE to remain in the centre while it continues to monitor the situation. That is the public health advice that we have.
