The HSE and the wider health system has been targeted by a criminal ransomware attack. IT systems across the health service have been temporarily shut down for security reasons, and the HSE is working with the National Cyber Security Centre, and with national and international experts including McAfee, to rectify this issue.
Our priority is keeping our patients safe and maintaining essential care and support services. The shutdown of our systems is having an impact on some health services and this disruption is very likely to go well into this week.
In the CHO Area 1( Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan and Sligo) all of our COVID-19 testing sites are open as usual this week.
If you have symptoms of Covid 19 please phone your GP/GP Out of Hours service who may advise you to go to the nearest Testing Centre. Those who have a GP referral or have been contacted by Contact Tracing and advised to go to a Covid 19 Test Centre can attend without an appointment. You can also attend the Testing Centre as a Walk In without an appointment if you live in the same area as the Walk In Test Centre and have not tested positive in the last 6 months. Please be advised that you may have to wait if the Testing Centre is busy on arrival. Please check opening and closing times of your nearest Testing Centre on www.hse.ie
