Just 33 of 4,000 staff at CUH test positive for virus

Cork University Hospital has begun scaling up outpatient clinics from this week, with clinics re-opening off-site for care of the elderly, rheumatology, respiratory medicine and gastroenterology.

Just 33 members of a 4,000-strong workforce at Cork University Hospital have tested positive for Covid-19.

Mary Horgan, consultant physician in infectious disease at CUH, said it was “probably one of the best hospitals in the country” in terms of levels of staff infection.
