The guidance issued to GPs tonight said that anyone who arrived from the UK mainland in the last 14-days is being advised to self-isolate- to stay in their room and not mix with any other household members, leave the house or see visitors for a full 14 days after arrival. This is because they could be incubating the new strain of coronavirus. The guidance from the Irish College of General Practitioners said all of these people will be contacted by the HSE via text message from the contact details they put on their passenger locator forms. They will also be advised to contact a GP or out of hours service to organise for a free COVID test whether or not they have symptoms on day five after arrival or as soon as possible after that.
