    I can assure you, UHW isnt any worse than CUH or Limerick University Hospital when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene control, so not sure how someone could make the assumption that Waterford will be the “Corana Capital of Ireland”

    Well the first case confirmed in the east of the country so I wouldn't say it will be long before its in Waterford if it isn't already.

    No the HSE won't say where which I think is ridiculous since surely it's in people's interest to know where.

    Very strong rumours that a pupil from a school IN Waterford has been sent home with a presumptive positive, returned from Italy last week. Would líne up with other cases returning from Italy. Hopefully virus isn't as contagious while asymptomatic

    A lot of cases around the world have been presumed cases and added on official list. Testing was just a formality. No harm for people to know, especially if you have an immune compromised child there, take extra steps, more hand sanitizer etc

    God sake, it has already been shown to be only a rumour from St Declans in Kilmacthomas on WLR.

    Except it does create harm,
    Idle spectulation and creating of gossip and runours causes people to needlessly worry, creates fear, misinformation and with some creates panic buying.

    To claim its not harm is flat out false.

    The level of paranoia on this thread from some posters and social media from people is frankly disgusting.

    They've been giving updates on where in the country they are. Not a single one so far has been in the south east.

    So what's the next excuse for spreading rubbish rumours about it in Waterford?

    There is an extended ban on in the hospital now, more stricter than what was out there now. The visitors list if any is diminished.

    Only visit hospital if the person your visiting is in serious end of life situation. Otherwise your putting the very people your visiting in danger. Hopefully we avoid the worst of it , only good thing is new building has all individual room's which can be used for isolation.

    There only rooms in use in the new building are on the Cherry Ward which is the top floor and currently being used for oncology, the bottom two floors are for the hospice which isn’t open yet.

    There is a cardiology day ward there too

    According to what I read from that, is they had someone is isolation but there was no confirmation of it at the time of printing.
    I have heard from s few different sources that there was a case out there, but again it is hearsay unless it's confirmed.

    All of this, totally agree. The lack of basic sense is the worry, nobody takes anything serious.

    What a prick! The medical advice is not to be publishing specifics of case locations, which Skelton well knows. He is doing nothing more than stirring up fear.

    The rumour mill certainly increased in the last couple of days so I’m not surprised that we now have a confirmed one.

    What specifics are in that tweet by the way? That it’s in Waterford? Sure we already know it’s in Galway, Cork and Dublin.

    I have doubts about the information that’s being released publicly tbh.

    Finally we got something before Kilkenny.

    I am surprised that Mary Butler and Michael Martin have not staged a photo op and claimed credit for it.

    In all seriousness though.. it didnt take long to get here if true. I would say the schools will be shut down within the next 10 days.

    What he says doesn't match with the news reports of the 10 cases and the how the contracted it . It's inevitable anyway
