Asylum seekers will 'find it impossible' to self-isolate or practise social distancing, advocate warns

Asylum seekers in some direct provision and emergency accommodation centres will find it impossible to self-isolate or practise social distancing, a west coast advocate for refugees has warned.

Co Clare public participation network (PPN) co-ordinator Sarah Clancy has written to Mr Flanagan, requesting that directions on how those living in Direct Provision and emergency accommodation can self-isolate if necessary be given “as soon as possible”.
