Dr Tony Holohan has been at the coal face of Ireland's response to the coronavirus. He's been a voice of a calm and certainty at a time of great public anxiety. If you're wondering why you won't see him at today's press briefings, it's because he is in hospital for tests unrelated to Covid-19.
The news was revealed by RTÉ today.

Dr Holohan says he'll be back to work tomorrow.
We're not sure if Dr Holohan is the kind of guy who reads replies to tweets, but he should peruse the reaction to RTÉ's tweets as they're full of positivity and well-wishes. Here's just one example.
