The contracts of Covid-19 testing staff in 18 counties are set to end next week as the HSE scales down the emergency response established during the pandemic

The final 100 swabbing staff are being retained in other HSE community healthcare organisation areas, covering the west, south/southwest/southeast/Dublin north city and county, and Donegal/Sligo and Leitrim, but only until the end of January 2023. At the height of the pandemic, almost 1,000 swabbers were deployed.

Covid testing centres will continue to operate, staffed on a rotating basis by ambulance personnel. The HSE said this is part of a long-term plan to manage Covid in a similar way to other respiratory diseases, through surveillance in primary care. The spokesman said a review was recently undertaken to determine the model for testing from this month as the system transitions fully to the long-term model.

“In order to be able to meet this level of surge capacity, it has been deemed necessary to retain approximately 100 CHO [community healthcare organisation] staff nationally to work alongside the NAS capacity.

Did any Ukrainians die from Covid

Great news. Glad to hear it, so relax with the propaganda now.

Alright lads the gravy train is coming to an end.

What about keeping them on ...for the Monkey pox...where did that go?

On to the war and the climate crisis, both sponsored by the government to the tune of €10 million in first round funding for the good ‘journalists’.

Ok, I get this, the fear around covid has definitely lowered in the public's mind, however, would it not be wise to keep this running until the spring?

Is it being stepped down because of the shit that was passed in G20 ?

UK woman leaves hospital a year after catching CovidA woman in the UK who became severely ill after contracting Covid-19 while 36 weeks pregnant has returned home to her baby daughter after more than a year in hospital. Gotta keep the narrative going somehow, save it, no one is buying your bs propaganda for WEF control anymore! Bullshit. So the the woman was unvaccinated.Yet it is well documented that the vaccines don't stop covid and can have severe side effects. So it strange to imply that the woman's condition was due to her own negligence in not taking the jabs. Maybe the cure was worse than the illness

Waterford, Carlow and Wexford have highest Covid rates as cases rise by a thirdThe number of Covid-19 cases confirmed by a PCR test increased by almost one-third last week, though other indicators for the disease remain stable Get over Covid and move on. Go away. A confusing, contradictory & over-loaded piece that is impossible to follow for many people. PCR tests are flawed. Cases means testing positive on a test that gives false positives. It does not necessarily mean the person who tests positive actually has covid.
