We aim to place the most up-to-date material on this site. However, given the rapidly changing nature of the pandemic and its manifestations in the UK and in Ireland, it is important readers ensure they have access to the latest guidance and advice, in particular from governments and their agencies, the WHO, and, of course, local Trusts and Health Boards. We are unable endorse the recommendations in the external resources we have provided links to.
