Eamon Ryan self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19

The Minister for the Environment, Climate, Communications and Transport is continuing to self-isolate at home this morning after testing positive for Covid-19.

Eamon Ryan had been isolating at home since developing cold-like symptoms last weekend.

His department issued a statement last night to confirm his positive test result.

Minister Ryan said he attended Cabinet virtually on Friday, so no other Cabinet colleagues are close contacts.
