Significant COVID-19 Cluster In Offaly

There has been a significant cluster of COVID-19 in County Offaly.

It’s being linked to an event attended by 40 people in Tullamore – half have since tested positive for the virus.

They also socialised in the wider area and close contacts have been identified and asked to isolate.

Staff at a local hotel are being tested, with all GPs in the midlands advised on protocol should their patients have come into contact with the group concerned.

Although an email from a senior doctor is circulating widely on social media, the HSE is refusing to comment because of Data Protection and ethical reasons.
