Limerick COVID-19 Community Response
In Limerick, Republic of Ireland, COVID-19 measures meant medically vulnerable people and those aged 70 or over were asked to stay at home and reduce their social contacts. This made it difficult for them to meet their daily needs and had the potential to result in social isolation. In response, Limerick City and County Council established a COVID-19 Community Response Team– a strong network of over 1700 committed volunteers ready to deal with calls and referrals and provide a wide range of support to those in need.
