1月31日武漢肺炎在愛爾蘭重點綜合報導 31 Jan 2020 Coronavirus in Ireland news summary
一名都柏林大學的學生最近從中國返回愛爾蘭，已完全解除冠狀病毒的可能。
該名女子居住在 University College Dublin 都柏林大學的住所中，剛從亞洲國家回來。
都柏林直播報導說，她開始出現類似流感的症狀後，聯絡了大學的學生健康服務部門。
A student at a Dublin university who recently returned from China has been given the all-clear after a coronavirus scare.
The woman, who lives in the residences at University College Dublin, returned from the Asian country where the virus originated.
She contacted the university’s student health services after she began to exhibit flu-like symptoms, Dublin Live reports.
有律師說，如果愛爾蘭有爆發，僱員可能要將健康狀況告知雇主。雇主應該考慮靈活的工作，包括允許員工在家工作，以減少感染的風險。
她說，如果員工即使沒有症狀, 但雇主要求員工留在家裡，也應該給予薪金。
If an Irish outbreak were to occur, employees might be required to tell their employer of any symptoms of poor health, lawyer Julie Galbraith, a partner at Eversheds Sutherland, said.
She added that the suspension of non-essential travel, spreading teams across several locations so as to improve operational resilience and providing hand sanitisers for staff were other possible elements of a proportionate response to an outbreak.
Ms Galbraith said employers should consider flexible working, including allowing employees to work from home in order to reduce the risk of infection.
Where employers ask staff to remain at home even if they do not have symptoms, they should be paid, she said.
“All employers have a duty of care toward staff. This means that employers must consider whether their existing arrangements take account of the risk of harm arising from the coronavirus.”
由於擔心冠狀病毒，三名愛爾蘭公民已從中國撤離
衛生部首席醫學官表示，愛爾蘭已經做好準備, 準備在冠狀病毒到達愛爾蘭時作出反應。
不過, 愛爾蘭護士和助產士組織 Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation 秘書長Phil Ní Sheaghdha表示，對ICU病床的需求可能會迅速
The Chief Medical Officer with the Department of Health has said Ireland is prepared and ready to respond should the coronavirus arrive in Ireland.
Phil Ní Sheaghdha, INMO General Secretary, has said the public needs assurances that isolation facilities will be made available if there are cases here of the coronavirus.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Sean O’Rourke she said it is reassuring that guidelines have been issued and control teams have been made aware of the WHO recommendations.
She said the requirement for ICU beds can happen rapidly and hospital beds are constantly in demand and in short supply.
“The preparedness we would like to see is what do you do in the event when you need that type of bed rapidly. That would require cancellation of elective surgeries as we do not have the space available.
“We should but we don’t. We have over 100% occupancy in all of our hospitals all of the time. So we have to cancel something to make room”.
She said there is also a need for designated teams to be ready to deal with any possible cases here.
