"My daughter, mother to two wonderful grandchildren, is a critical care nurse and will shortly be working everyday with Covid-19 patients. I’m out of my mind with worry and pray that she will get through this and come back to us safely" – RMA member.

I’m sure there are many RMA colleagues out there who find themselves in the same position. That nurse and many other healthcare workers, our civil service colleagues, will be putting their lives at risk in this fight and we need everyone to do their part in helping them defeat this insidious virus. We are living in catastrophic times.

You, the adults in the family, can help by being proactive:

1.    Strictly adhering to the HSE & Dept. of Health Guidelines

2.    Ensure your family, extended family and friends strictly adhere to HSE & Dept of Health Guidelines

3.    Show disapproval when others are ignoring the guidelines

4.    Stop panic shopping, hoarding food and  leaving shelves empty for front-line staff
