RCSI professor: If Covid-19 restrictions are eased public must take responsibility for their behaviour

Ruairí Brugha, professor of epidemiology and public health medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) has warned that “we’re looking at the long haul” and that “we’re not going back to normal” with regard to hygiene and physical distancing.
