2月29日 Covid-19 武漢肺炎 愛爾蘭 重點綜合報導 29 Feb 2020 Coronavirus in Ireland news summary
北愛爾蘭安特里姆地區醫院（Amrim Area Hospital）正運營 “得來速 ” 免下車冠狀病毒測試中心。
該設施讓全科醫生GP轉介的患者留在自己的車輛中進行測試。到達醫院後，穿著防護用品的工作人員將接近他們的車輛，並通過開著的窗戶收集必要的拭子樣本。
同時，教會建議改變禮拜程序，包括停止身體互動。
“這種方法可以保護醫院環境和脆弱的病患者, 避免暴露於Covid-19 [冠狀病毒]。”
衛生當局尚未公佈有關北愛爾蘭唯一確診病例的細節。
但是，愛爾蘭航空公司（Aer Lingus）向愛爾蘭國家廣播電台RTÉ確認，該女子是乘搭了從意大利飛往都柏林的航班。
據了解，她隨後乘公共汽車前往都柏林的Connolly Street車站，然後乘火車前往北愛爾蘭。
英國廣播公司了解到這名女子現時在她自己家中。
北愛爾蘭的公共交通提供商Translink表示，它將“採取一切必要步驟來防止這種病毒的傳播”。該公司補充說，它已經對所有跨愛爾蘭邊境火車車廂進行了“額外清潔”。
A “drive-through” coronavirus testing centre is in operation at Antrim Area Hospital.
The facility allows patients referred by a GP to be tested while remaining in their vehicle.
Meanwhile churches have recommended changes to services, including stopping physical interaction.
Antrim Hospital is carrying out tests on patients who are referred by a GP, who must agree a test is required based on travel history and symptoms, as first reported in the Irish News.
On arrival at the hospital staff wearing protective equipment will approach their vehicle and collect necessary swabs through an open window.
A spokesperson for the trust said: “The individual is provided with information advising them of the need to self-isolate and who to contact for further advice if their symptoms worsen and they become unwell.
“This approach safeguards the hospital environment and vulnerable patients from potential exposure to Covid-19 [coronavirus].”
Very few details about the single confirmed case in Northern Ireland have been released by the health authorities.
However, Aer Lingus confirmed to Irish national broadcaster RTÉ that the woman travelled to Dublin on one of its flights from Italy.
It is understood she then travelled to Dublin’s Connolly Street station by bus before travelling to Northern Ireland by train.
The BBC understands that the woman is at her home.
Northern Ireland’s public transport provider Translink said it would “take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus”.
It added that it had done “additional cleaning” of all cross-Irish border train carriages.
