Yes, you can, but be aware of your employer's policy regarding illness payment etc.

They should already have notified you about this, and what to do if you feel ill.

A poster went up today but it didn't say anything about leave, just infection prevention advice.

Can you afford not to work for 6 months potentially and ride it out

My sick leave wouldn't cover it, but I suspect we're not going to be made come in for too much longer.

I think I'll just ride it out for the next few days (presumably when it spreads countrywide they'll look at closing schools) doing a bit of a work-to-rule and focusing mainly on hygiene. I work with special needs children so it will be a high priority to keep them completely sanitary. It's a huge responsibility. If I were a parent I would be pulling my kids out of school right now, as that's exactly where they're going to get it.

Why everyone, young and old alike, can't just work from home, is beyond me. We all have computers.

It'd be nice if we had a government.

If the person got the train from Dublin to Belfast (ie the Enterprise) the majority of seats tend to be bookings (trust me it's rammed) decent chance they would know where person seated and who in same carriage.

Person would have needed to get to the train from the airport.

I'd imagine that for most cases, a bus would be just as handy from the airport. I'd say there are plenty of express ones to Belfast.

Still flights landing in from Milan and other Italian cities tonight. Laughable.

Have other countries stopped all flights from Italy coming in?

It’s a localised out break purely in northern Italy.
Stopping flights from Rome would have no affect for example

Also WHO have recommended against airport scanning and screening as it doesn’t help.

I think we need to cool the jets a bit now.

Alright it is encroaching, but realistically apart from barricading ourselves in our homes with a bag of pasta and a few jars of sauce what can we do?

Kids need to go to school. School open, ok, we need to get to work, PT working, OK.

Honestly take precautions like much more hand washing or something, but until we are told to go into home quarantine, most will just carry on.

Quick question.
I have a bar of fruit and nut in my food stockpile, is it OK to eat it now? Or do I have to wait for a Corona case in the Republic?

Absolutely.

But start planning for the schools being shut for a couple of months.

They are not contacting all people. Chief Medicial Officer said only 2 rows on plane will be contacted. Wtf? That is ridiculous. Also no info about whether their family are in quarantine. It's a joke.

People queueing to get on and off the plane near this person plus all cabin crew need to be checked.

I agree to a degree.
But I wouldn't rule out some kind of closures for a short time in the future.
Just look at Japan they are closing all their schools until April.

This has been happening here for weeks. Suspected cases are given an isolation kit either in the community or when they arrive and accompanied to an isolation room for testing and history and examination.

Ive done it myself a few times.

Not all of us are computer toucher's for a living.
I work for NAS and am a bit ****in concerned right now.


Still have not been issued masks or flu kits.
Haven't heard any update or guidelines/advice since about 3 weeks ago.


Zero communication from upper management.


NAS management is pisspoor and corrupt to the bone. They give no ****s. Not even the HSE can touch them.

He wouldn't even admit she was on the train, that's just irrisponsibe, they've no passenger seat manifesto for a train and I doubt it was disenficted by Irish Rail, if this lady didn't go to the toilet between Italy and the NI I'll eat my hat. There really trying to keep a lid on it all.
Out protocols are working, I can see him regretting those words very shortly.

When she arrived to Dublin Airport it would be unlikely she would go to Dublin City centre to pick up the train. More likely she travelled by car or else the Air Coach service to Belfast.

How do you collect bins via a computer? Sounds tricky.

In Indonesia, Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto defended the country's screening process for coronavirus on Thursday and said the absence of confirmed cases in the world's fourth-most populous nation was a "blessing from the Almighty".

That's not the first explanation that springs to my mind.

But WHY do that, if we can avoid it spreading by all just agreeing that we'll stay home?

I think we need perspective on this, if we follow some posters advice on what to do we will decimate tourism and many other industries and businesses. Try read the following link its interesting

HSE/Dept of Health Crisis meeting minutes. 27/02/2020/

Official A : Right, Covid19 detections are rising in Italy, what can we do to minimise the risk of an outbreak in Ireland?
Official B : we can get people from Italy to Ireland, 200 at a time, in 2-3 hour flights. Lombardy itself has 3 airport with multiple daily direct flight to Dublin.
Official A : I like it. We have a plan. Let get people from Italy, in their thousands, landing into Dublin Airport.
