Covid-19 'rampant' on Achill Island - GP reveals

An Achill locum GP has issued an alert over Covid-19 being rampant on the island.

In a tweet last night, which was shared on The Connaught Telegraph Facebook page, Dr. Noreen Curtis, stated: “Folks, it's rampant.

“Achill escaped very lightly since March, but no more.

“Stay in, wash hands, mask up.

“To all the people here – behave as though you have it and don't want to spread it.”

Asked on twitter by former Mayo Fianna Fáil senator Dr. Keith Swanick how many cases are there on the island, she replied: “High teens, I have no doubt there will be more.”
