The Department of Justice and Equality has said that workers at a Co Kildare pet food factory who have tested positive for Covid-19 have now been moved off-site from the Direct Provision Centres they were living in in the midlands.
The move is in accordance with advice from Public Health officials. In a statement to RTÉ News, the department said some workers who have not been moved out are self-isolating instead at the centres, which are believed to be located in Co Laois.
The department said all centres are cleaned rigorously, paying particular attention to communal areas, lifts and door handles.
Translations of public health advice have been provided and residents are encouraged to follow the HSE advice the department said.
