Hi folks,
I have been very concerned that we are still not making enough progress in slowing the spread of the Covid-19 Corona Virus in this country. So I had a look at what some other countries were doing and I discovered that by far the most successful countries in slowing the spread of the virus were those who were recommending that people wear face masks. I was surprised that our leaders and medical experts have not followed the example of these countries so over the last couple of days I sat down and wrote a letter and sent it to every TD in Dail Eireann. I then followed up by sending a copy of it to each of the members of the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET). I hope they will look at how other countries have used mask wearing to bring the virus under control. You can see a copy of the letter below. Please feel free to share it or to copy any points that you want from it to encourage our elected representatives and medical experts to change their policy on face masks:-
