“The spirit of the response to COVID-19 since the outset of this pandemic has been solidarity and cooperation,” Dr Ronan Glynn Acting Chief Medical Officer.
“While this pandemic is a uniquely challenging time for everyone, we can and will support one another in getting through this.”
“Encourage your family and friends to heed the public health advice. Now more than ever, we need to work collectively. Our individual actions count on a population level.”
