A GP in the midlands has said he has been receiving a significant number of calls in recent days relating to a cluster of Covid-19 cases.
It comes after the Bridge House Hotel in Tullamore confirmed that it has been notified of a cluster in a group of guests who stayed in the hotel last week.
In a statement to RTÉ News the hotel said they are co-operating closely with the HSE and have closed temporarily "in the interests of health and safety".
All staff at the hotel are being tested as a precautionary measure. It is understood the group of up to 40 stayed at the hotel and visited several local golf clubs, pubs and a restaurant.
