Two Irish citizens, who were on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship, have tested positive for coronavirus, known as Covid-19, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs.
It also said that six Irish citizens were repatriated from Wuhan city in China, three of whom were evacuated on 31 January and the other three on 9 February. The Department of Health has said that 78 suspected cases of the virus have been tested in Ireland, but there have been no confirmed cases in the country.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said the Department of Health was "continuing to monitor the situation globally". Meanwhile, Professor Sam McConkey, head of the Department of International Health and Tropical Medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons, has said he was confident that Ireland could cope if cases of coronavirus were to be confirmed here.
Prof McConkey said this gives him confidence that similar measures undertaken in Ireland "would also work very well if we were to have a handful of 10-20 cases here".
Fake News, The Department said: 2 people who share Dual Citizenship with Another EU Member State, & are Not normally Resident in Ireland. So where are they really from?
The Six One news stated that there are no deaths of the Coronavirus in Europe. It’s wrong. One case occurred on Saturday last a Chinese man died in France.
Please watch this video. Diamond Princess is COVID-19 mill. How I got in the ship and was removed... YouTubeさんから Diamond Princess has completely inadequate infection control, and there is no professional ID person in charge.
Be save all.
I predict large scale sales of cruises around the world in the coming months..
