The family of a Dublin man who died after contracting Covid-19, has urged people to stay in their homes to save lives and help prevent the spread of the illness.
Michael Glynn, 78, from Tallaght was a father-of-six and a popular taxi driver. He developed complications after a major surgical procedure last December, and was treated in the intensive care unit of St James' Hospital.
His family said he had been recovering in recent weeks following rehabilitation, and was due to leave hospital last Monday. But he developed symptoms of Covid-19 and tested positive for the illness.
Doctors at first believed Michael only had a mild form of the disease, but his condition rapidly deteriorated and his family was told he only had days to live.
