I would like to ask what if any tests
are planned on Irish residents returning from the Cheltenham
Races in UK this weekend. This virus
is rampant in that area and I’ve no doubt many will have picked it up without being aware of it, but as carriers will pass it on to many and cause havoc in this country. Our government need to be much more
proactive and act. I’m waiting for the explosion 💥🦠🦠🦠

I understand your concerns, but this would be a question for the HSE.
