Irish man Michael Dowling, the owner of Northwell Health, a major health company in New York, is helping in the US city's fight against Covid-19.
When he received a call from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, asking for help in co-ordinating the hospital response to the virus, Mr Dowling said: "Yeah, I'll help in any way I possibly can." Mr Dowling, who is originally from Knockaderry in Co Limerick, told RTÉ's News at One that he believes that "overall, hospitals in New York are doing well, and managing the situation in a good way".
This week the US overtook China and Italy for having the most cases of Covid-19 in the world, with almost 86,000 confirmed cases and 1,300 deaths.
