3/7
Beware of anyone calling to your house offering services in relation to COVID-19, this includes services for COVID-19 tests. Health Service Executive staff (Ambulance, Nurses, Paramedics, Doctors) will not call to your house unless you have been in touch with them first.
4/7
Beware of bogus charity collectors. There should not be anyone carrying out street or door to door collections at this time. If you are approached, report it to @GardaTraffic. #COVID19ireland @DeptRCD
