GP practices pull shutters down due to ‘coronavirus risk’

GP practices are closed around Northern Ireland due to the risk of coronavirus.

Glengormley Practice in Co Antrim is one of many which has pulled the shutters down.


Emergency appointments will be available but routine appointments have been postponed.

A total of 20 cases of Covid-19 have been detected so far.

Meanwhile, Northern Ireland’s schools WILL close eventually as a result of coronavirus, the First Minister Arlene Foster has said.

Mrs Foster said on Friday school closures would be inevitable.

She said the country is 14 weeks away from the peak of the spread and she warned many people may already have coronavirus, but not realise.

On Thursday, the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said schools, colleges and other public facilities in the Republic of Ireland would close their doors.

All Uefa competitions, including Champions League and Europa League matches, have been also been postponed because of the outbreak.
