The Department of Health continues to be in regular contact with its counterparts in Northern Ireland. Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan and Northern Ireland Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michael McBride, have been liaising on this issue since early January.
Speaking after the call, Minister Harris said:
"We must do everything we can to remain vigilant in the event of a case of Covid-19 emerging.
"Cross border communication and co-operation is vital in that regard. Today, Minister Swann and I agreed to continue to work together in this area and to ensure our two Departments continue to work closely together."
