Department of Health officials gave an update today on Ireland’s preparedness for Covid-19.

This is in the wake of the first confirmed case of the virus on the island of Ireland yesterday evening.

Two questions we’re asking now - should you be going to your GP if you think you have the coronavirus?  And given how concern is increasing, should the Dáil be recalled!

Peadar Toibin, the leader of Aontu has joined Ivan to tell him why he believes the Dáil should be recalled.

Galway GP Brian Higgins also gave some very practical advice to those may catch the virus, as well as those who just want to be as safe as possible.
