First Irish case of rubella in a decade reported at Apple campus in Cork

One of Cork's largest employers confirms it is working with the HSE after a case of rubella — the first reported in Ireland in a decade — was identified on its campus.

The Irish Examiner first reported that a case of rubella had been identified in Cork last week, but it was only yesterday that Apple, which employs thousands of people at Hollyhill, on the northside of Cork city, sent an email to all its staff saying that the HSE had notified it of a case of rubella at the company's Irish headquarters.
