Saint Joseph’s Community Hospital in Stranorlar is dealing with an outbreak of Covid-19 at one of its wards, Donegal Daily has learned.

While a spokesperson for the HSE declined to comment, it is understood that around five older patients are affected, as well as a number of staff members.

An outbreak in a healthcare setting is called when there are two or more positive contacts.

A source told us that the outbreak, which occurred at the end of last week, is now ‘under control.’ 

All staff members were tested last Friday.
