#HoldFirm – together we are beating Coronavirus
We all have incredible gratitude and admiration for the work frontline and essential workers have done during this time of Covid 19. The best way we can say “thank you” to them is to #HoldFirm. That means living within the restrictions – social distancing, only travelling when we have to, only meeting up with small groups outside and at distance, washing hands frequently, wearing face covering in busy places. Yes it is tough, we miss people, places and the things we used to do but together we are beating Coronavirus. So let’s #HoldFirm.
Here is a message from the HSE
Take care
We want to acknowledge the public’s monumental efforts to keep our frontline and essential workers safe by staying home. Using the poem as inspiration, our frontline staff have joined together to give new meaning to President Higgins’ inspirational words.
