HSE reassures public it does not charge for Covid-19 testing

As the community assessment hub remains operational at the Clonbrusk Resource Centre in Athlone to enable COVID-19 positive patients (confirmed and presumptive) who require a face to face clinical assessment attend a locally based unit as near as possible to where they live, Mr. Pat Bennett, Chief Health Officer, HSE Midlands Louth Meath and Dublin Midlands Hospital Group, addressed the need to provide a more sustainable structure which will focus upon how relevant services are delivered in a safe environment both for service users and staff while the virus remains prevalent within local communities.

The HSE is advising anyone with Covid-19 to continue to take any medication you were already taking, unless you are told not to by a healthcare professional. This includes anti-inflammatories (NSAID) such as ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac.

As the South Westmeath Hospice committee continue to raise and enhance public awareness regarding matters pertinent to the future of the palliative care unit in Athlone, a welcome development will occur on Thursday evening (September 26), as the HSE has formally invited the local volunteer group to meet with the Head of Social Care, Mr. Jude O’Neill, as negotiations pertaining to the future of the facility commence in earnest.
