Fergal Bowers, of RTÉ, reports:
New rules have been introduced for Covid-19 testing, which means patients will need to meet revised criteria to qualify in future.
Patients will have to display two major symptoms – a fever and either a cough or shortness of breath – and fall into a priority group in order to be tested.
These are close contacts of a confirmed case, healthcare staff and vulnerable groups.

I know you don’t normally do this but this bicycle was stolen from Broadstone/Phibsborough last night.
It is a fairly distinctive triple tandem bicycle made by Thorn Cycles. We’ve been using lately to exercise the kids during social distancing.
It is quite hard to miss so if anybody sees it please get in touch or indeed contact your local Gardaí. Thanks.
Anyone?
