 Dear friends, dear colleagues, as Coheric of Tipperary County Council, can I begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to all those involved in our frontline services across our health services, our emergency services, the team here at Tipperary County Council, our media, indeed all those involved in the delivery of essential services. Thank you for being your part in protecting us all from this virus. I'm now asking you, the citizen, to play your part by following all the key instructions in this booklet which has been distributed to every single household in Ireland. Remember the importance of social and physical distancing. Wash your hands, cover your mouth when coughing and sneezing. Avoid touching your face. Keep surfaces clean. Stop shaking hands and stop hugging as difficult as that may be. We fantastic community spirit here in Tipperary. By working together, by supporting one another, we can overcome this virus.
