HSE Update: Protecting Your Child from Covid-19; Video for Members of the Roma Community; Escape Your Chair Campaign

September 3, 2020 By //  by LCRL

Public Health Measures
The special health measures that were in place in Kildare were lifted on the 31st August. We are, however, still experiencing some increases in the rate of COVID around the country. Advice and restrictions are continuously being reviewed with recommendations being made by NPHET and the Government. These measures aim to protect our priorities – caring for vulnerable people, keeping health services open and getting children back to education.

 You can view the latest national public health measures here.

 

Protecting your Child from COVID-19
COVID-19 can affect children as well as adults, but cases of coronavirus are much less common in children. Children generally get a milder infection than adults or older people. Often, they have no symptoms. Children have rarely been the person who brought coronavirus into a household when household spread has happened. They are less likely than adults to spread infection to other people. You can find out more about protecting your child from coronavirus here.

 For more information and resources for schools and parents, please see: www.gov.ie/backtoschool

 For more information on protecting your child from COVID-19, please see: www.gov.ie/adviceforparents

 

Updated COVID-19 Advice Posters for Entering a Building, GP Surgery or Pharmacy
Updated posters have been created and can be used by GP surgeries, pharmacies and other buildings/places where visitors should be alerted not to enter if they have COVID-19 symptoms. The posters are available under the ‘Posters’ drop down menu available here.

 

Alternatively, you can access the posters directly from the following links:

COVID-19 Video for Members of the Roma Community

A new video has been made for members of the Roma Community explaining what to do if travelling into Ireland from another country.

 

Escape Your Chair Campaign

The Irish Heart Foundation’s Escape Your Chair Heart Month campaign supported by HSE Health & Wellbeing is calling on the nation to Escape Your Chair by moving for a minute each hour during the day. A survey conducted by Ipsos MRBI in early August found that more than half of all Irish workers are now working from home, with 53% of them sitting down for longer than when they commuted to work. While one in four are remaining sedentary for at least three hours longer than when they commuted to work.  The evidence shows that being sedentary for long periods of time increases your risk of developing heart disease.

For more information about the campaign visit: www.EscapeYourChair.ie and for tips about maintaining a healthy heart while working from home go to: https://bit.ly/2EV70MW
