Hope everyone keeping well. I know there’s lots of anxiety out there, lotsa “fake news”.
But it’s good to be informed. So here are some links to credible websites:
HSE for updated comprehensive advise on protecting yourself, symptoms, self, isolating, etc
Department of Foreign Affairs for Travel advice related to Corona Virus
World Health Organisation – more pretty regularly updated information – may be of interest if you’ve travel plans
