CHIEF medical officer Tony Holohan has urged older people to “get back out there” and restart the things they used to do once Covid-19 restrictions are eased next week. Donegal is still struggling to manage a rise in Covid-19 cases. HSE chief executive Paul Reid announced that extra testing centres were being considered after a surge of cases in the county. A meeting took place on Saturday between Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, Dr Holohan and local politicians to discuss the rise in cases in Donegal. As well as the walk-in testing facility in Letterkenny, Mr Reid said further “walk-in sites” were being considered in Donegal.
