It's after a video emerged showing a Covid patient, Joe McCarron, being encouraged to leave Letterkenny University Hospital by another man.

Health workers unsuccessfully advised him to stay and Mr McCarron died after being readmitted to hospital days later.

Gardaí are investigating the circumstances and Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has urged people to be careful in the advice they take:

"I can understand if people are being targeted how they might look at that and how they might get concerned, what I'd say to anybody is go to the official sources, go to the HSE, go to the Department of Health, go to the W.H.O, go to ECDC. Don't pay any attention to the misinformation that has been that has been peddled, Unfortunately, in some places on social media."
