Abstract

Lurgan and Portadown situated in County Armagh were industrial towns specialising in the linen and textile industry. After Belfast, Lurgan was reported to be the most industrial town in Ulster. Portadown is located six miles from Lurgan, and although these towns were in the same poor law union, they had different Medical Officers of Health. (MOH) The public health strategy of these urban areas would be guided by the MOH for that town. This chapter discusses the different ways in which the MOHs for Lurgan and Portadown responded to the pandemic.
