A youth group in Dublin has been asked to “self-isolate” for two weeks by the HSE to prevent the possible spread of coronavirus. The group is linked to the first and only confirmed case of coronavirus in the Republic. No new cases have been found in this group and there is only one confirmed case in the State. The Department of Health also said on Tuesday via Twitter it was aware of “fake letters circulating regarding (the) confirmed case of #Covid19”. Deirdre also said she was unhappy at how she was told about the confirmed case on Saturday evening.
