“Just doing a very quick video,” McCaffrey begins.
“I’m still getting used to seeing my own clean-shaven face, it’s the first time in a long time I’ve been like that, and the reason for that is because it helps those of us who work in hospitals [to] protect ourselves and protect our patients while we’re dealing with people who have the Covid-19 disease.
“The reason for this video is that I’m just looking to ask that everybody else continue to do their bit to help out with that as well, whether that be washing your hands coming in and out of the house, avoiding public gatherings.
“I just want to thank everyone who’s been helping so far and re-emphasise how important they are so please, please, please continue to follow those instructions. Thank you very much.”
