No plans to close Covid-19 unit in Dungannon
The unit, which was opened in the Dungannon hospital at the end of March is designed to ensure that vital GP services continue through the COVID-19 pandemic.
As lockdown restrictions begin to lift and with Northern Ireland’s Nightingale hospital temporarily stood down in May, the Southern Trust has rejected suggestions that this COVID-19 unit could also close.
