Public hygiene facilities 'an embarrassment' and need to be improved to fight Covid-19, expert says

"I've walked around time going to and from work and other situations...It's an embarrassment the kind of facilities that are there," said Professor Jack Lambert, consultant in infectious diseases at the Mater Hospital in Dublin.

Jack Lambert, professor in Infectious Diseases at the Mater and Rotunda hospitals and UCD school of medicine has warned against the lifting of restrictions in relation to Covid-19.

It is too soon to “unlock the lockdown” as there are too many community clusters such as the homeless, drug users and student populations where the virus has yet to be identified, he said.
