Ninety cases have been tested in Ireland, but all have come back negative. No one in Ireland has yet tested positive for the coronavirus. Holohan also set out what individuals should do if a family member is in self-isolation in the same home. A group of students in second year at Presentation College Bray had recently returned from a ski trip in Italy. The school says it has been in contact with the HSE over how to proceed and that anyone who is feeling ill is being advised to seek medical advice.

This is EXTREMELY bad advice! And misinformation!!! DO NOT self isolate “IF your showing symptoms” You CAN be infected and have NO symptoms at all! Asymptomatic people are CONTAGIOUS! ALL people who traveled ANYWHERE recently and who are feeling unwell should self isolate!!!

Should they not self-isolate before they desplay symptoms... Could be contagious before symptoms show?
