Cork doctor says 'children will get through Covid-19 outbreak' but should not mix

A Cork respiratory paediatrician has warned that school closures will only be effective at slowing down the spread of Covid-19 if children are not mixing with each other.

“They will give it to each other silently and pass it on to our loved ones,” Dr Muireann Ní Chrónín warned. “What we do now will contribute to how this develops in Cork.”
