The presence of antibodies indicates that a person was infected with the COVID-19 virus. Initial results are expected in late August and will enable HPSC to estimate prevalence of infection of COVID-19 in the population across different age groups. A representative sample of people in both Dublin and Sligo will be invited to participate as it will be representative of the wider population, with higher and lower known levels of infection respectively. Those who consent to take part in the study will be asked to complete a short questionnaire and will provide a blood sample taken by a phlebotomist in a local HSE centre.   Government Roadmap The Government’s roadmap for reopening society and business can be found here.   Please also check here for the most up to date partner resources for COVID-19.   Public Health Information: As always, for the most up to date information and advice on Coronavirus, please go to: Department of Health DOH:                                  https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/c36c85-covid-19-coronavirus/ Health Service Executive HSE:                         https://www2.hse.ie/coronavirus/ Health Protection Surveillance Centre HPSC:         https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/   A newly developed booklet for adults in counties Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan and Monaghan to people living with diabetes, COPD, asthma, cardiac conditions and stroke.

Making a plan

During challenging times like this, having a plan that helps us stay busy and feel more in control of our time can be very beneficial.

Create a positivity plan for your week – ideas could include:

  • physical activity – even though the days are getting shorter and colder, getting outside and getting active is so important for our physical and mental wellbeing. Being outside helps to lower stress, reduce anxiety, and improve self-esteem
  • connecting with loved ones – staying connected with family and friends is really important for our mental wellbeing. It can be a lifeline for those shielding or isolating, to help ease worries and combat loneliness
  • doing something you enjoy – this could be something simple such as watching a movie or TV show, carving out some time to read or spend time in the garden. Perhaps to call a friend or spend time on a hobby. Whatever it is, having something to look forward to is a great way to help keep spirits up
  • taking time out to care for ourselves- with all that is going on around us, it is easy to get overwhelmed. Having some designated time to relax, or practising some breathing or relaxation techniques can help to keep us focused
  • getting up and getting dressed at your usual time will help to get the day off to a good start
  • try and make sure you and your family get enough sleep. Sleep is really important for your mental health and wellbeing and especially during these unsettling times. SpunOut have some great tips on getting better sleep here
  • eating well – sticking to normal mealtimes as much as possible will help to keep some structure on your day. Keep your meals as healthy as you can. Perhaps designate a day to do some batch cooking to ensure that you always have healthy nutritious meals to hand. You can see more great tips on eating well here
  • keep learning – Learning new things or developing new skills can really help build self confidence and improve self esteem, and depending on what you choose it can also help you get to know others with similar interests. Libraries Ireland have lots of courses that you can do for free
  • do something creative – creativity and pursuing creative interests has been shown to improve mental wellbeing. There are so many ways to be creative, from arts and crafts, to music, gardening, cooking, or writing
  • giving to others – helping others and participating in your community can be hugely beneficial to your own wellbeing, as well as those that you are helping. It can be something simple such as checking in with someone who may be vulnerable at this time, or volunteering in a more formal role. Check out Volunteer Ireland or your Local Authority for more information

HSE Launches Study to Investigate COVID-19 Infection in People Living in Ireland (SCOPI) The HSE is issuing letters to more than 5,000 people inviting them to participate in the study to measure exposure to COVID-19 infection in the population using an antibody blood test. The presence of antibodies indicates that a person was infected with the COVID-19 virus. Initial results are expected in late August and will enable HPSC to estimate prevalence of infection of COVID-19 in the population across different age groups. A representative sample of people in both Dublin and Sligo will be invited to participate as it will be representative of the wider population, with higher and lower known levels of infection respectively. Those who consent to take part in the study will be asked to complete a short questionnaire and will provide a blood sample taken by a phlebotomist in a local HSE centre.   Government Roadmap The Government’s roadmap for reopening society and business can be found here.   Please also check here for the most up to date partner resources for COVID-19.   Public Health Information: As always, for the most up to date information and advice on Coronavirus, please go to: Department of Health DOH:                                  https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/c36c85-covid-19-coronavirus/ Health Service Executive HSE:                         https://www2.hse.ie/coronavirus/ Health Protection Surveillance Centre HPSC:         https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/   [post_title] => Public Health Advice from HSE: [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => public-health-advice-from-hse [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2021-08-12 09:15:42 [post_modified_gmt] => 2021-08-12 08:15:42 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://monaghan.ie/?p=5525 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw )
