Dear Colleague,

We hope this message finds you well.

We are grateful for your continuing support in helping to share information about COVID-19. Below are a few communications updates for you.

New COVID prevention campaign

Tomorrow we’ll be launching a new phase of our COVID campaign, which is giving people our good public health advice, but with a new look and feel. We want to make sure the important protection actions are fresh in our minds, especially for people who are out and about more at the moment. The message is still the same – stay safe and protect each other. Our campaign pack is attached and we’d love your support on social media or sharing the new messages. We’ll have the new posters on our web page tomorrow.

Face covering regulations

You may have heard that the Government confirmed yesterday that it intends to have face coverings mandatory, for those who can wear them, in retail and other outlets from Monday August 10th. We’ll share any updated materials on this next week.

HSE Webpage on disability day services now live 

A webpage providing details on the reopening of disability day services was published yesterday. The web page provides information on the services opening in each Community Health Organisation by location, and details the number of service users that will use the location on a daily basis.

The web portal will be updated as more information becomes available and is available at http://www.hse.ie/newdirections​.
