Dr. Ronan Glynn, Acting Medical Director, said: “Today marks six months since our first case of Covid-19. It has been a very difficult time for many and few have been affected in any way by the negative effects of this pandemic.

“However, it has also been a moment of incredible solidarity, a moment in which the sense of community has come to the fore. We have seen innovation, cooperation, volunteerism and charity, and kindness on an enormous scale. Our frontline workers have stepped up time and time again. But the basis of all this has been that each person has played their part by making the right decisions, many times, every day. Together, we have broken the drive chains and flattened the curve. As cases increase, it is these same behaviors that will once again make a difference, protecting ourselves, our families and our communities. “
