Close contacts not restricting movements, warns GPA Donegal GP has said that close contacts who receive a negative Covid-19 test are not getting the message that they need to restrict their movements for 14 days. The Irish government are pathetic. Their attack on donegal people is reprehensible. The people of donegal won’t forget. “Donegal GP” needs a good kick up the hole. Covid is long gone. History. Under the bridge. People need to work. Those Chinese-made virus test agents are not accurate.
