Worrying news.

It has been reported today that a member of staff at a Dublin creche has tested positive for COVID-19. It is believed that this is the first case of someone in the childcare sector testing positive. According to 98FM Tusla and the HSE have both refused to comment, but the Minister for Children confirmed the case to the Dáil late last night. Very little is known about the creche in question but according to the Minister all necessary actions have been taken. As parents across the country begin to send their children back to creche, the worry of COVID-19 is still high and a case like this is extremely stressful for parents, especially those who may have children at the facility. We will keep you updated on any further developments in the story.
