Letterkenny University Hospital (LUH) is dealing with long wait times in its Emergency Department due to a rise in Covid-19 patients and a high number of attendees over the past seven days. As a result, some elective surgeries are being postponed, and all available beds are in use. The hospital is prioritizing urgent, time-sensitive cases and advising the public to visit GPs or out-of-hours services before visiting the ED except in emergency situations.
