The timing of hub availability-and therefore, potential exposure of clinicians to risk-is also considered by comparing Department of Health national data on daily case occurrence with 'real-time' COVID-19-related emergency calls to Dublin Fire Brigade Ambulance Service. More than 500 GPs and GP registrars came forward to complete relevant clinical training in order to work in hubs, during April 2020-this represents around 15% of the general practice population. No data exists on the total number of clinicians who worked in hubs but the 170 GPs and GP registrars who responded to this study are likely to be a significant proportion of the doctors who carried out shifts and may therefore provide useful insights into this novel clinical setting.	./cache/cord-301582-922zyhti.txt	./txt/cord-301582-922zyhti.txt
