All cases are followed up and investigated by Public Health, as are any linked cases.  COVID-19 testing is a priority at present in the HSE.
At times precautionary and pre-emptive measures may be implemented.  We are being proactive in following up the current positive cases in Donegal, carrying out large volumes of testing.  This is not unusual and done to identify any positive cases at an early stage, limiting the spread of the disease.  The HSE respects the privacy of all patients being tested.
