Saolta Healthcare Group has said it is “gravely concerned” by a number of recent incidents in which groups of activists have attempted to spread disinformation about Covid-19 at hospitals.


In recent days a Covid-19 patient was encouraged to leave Letterkenny General Hospital by an activist, who filmed the interaction in the hospital, with the video later posted on social media.


In the video, the activist said he was “rescuing” the man, and falsely claimed treatment in the hospital would “kill” the patient.


Medical staff can be heard in the video warning the patient about the risks of leaving the hospital, stating they were worried about his condition.


One staff member told the man that leaving the hospital would risk “endangering” his life. “It’s a very difficult disease that you have, and I’m not lying to you, you could die, but this could be your best chance in the hospital,” the staff member told the patient.


A source confirmed the incident took place in the Donegal hospital in recent days.
