One part of a Dublin creche has had to close after a confirmed case of Covid-19.
The Irish Times reports that sixteen children and two staff members at Oakmount Creche at the UCD campus are self-isolating and will undergo testing.
That's after they were deemed close contacts of a person with the illness.
Management told parents about the case on Sunday however they were only officially informed by the HSE on Wednesday.
One of the Montessori rooms has been shut however the rest of the facility remains open.
Intel plant
Meanwhile a construction worker has tested positive for Covid-19 at the Intel plant in Leixlip in Kildare.
The person was feeling unwell over the weekend, and asked for a test. They were diagnosed with the virus shortly afterward and are now self-isolating.
A spokesperson for the contractor they work for has said it is liaising with the HSE on the necessary follow-up procedures.
