A secondary school in Dublin has been closed for 14 days due to concerns over Coronavirus, BBC reports.
This is coming after a man from the eastern part of Ireland was confirmed to have Coronavirus on Saturday.
The National Public Health Emergency Team said;
“A risk assessment determined that all pupils and teachers are being treated as close contacts of the confirmed case”
A woman from Northern Ireland was also diagnosed with the virus on Thursday.
Both had travelled home from an affected area in Italy.
Dr Tony Holohan, Ireland’s chief medical officer, said;
“Public health doctors are in direct contact with pupils, their parents and the staff involved”.
While not identifying it, he said it was a “large school and stressed that patient confidentiality in this case, and in all cases, should be respected”.
