'Swift' Covid-19 response resulted in just one homeless death in Dublin and small number of cases

A "swift, highly co-ordinated and extremely effective" response to Covid-19 kept infection and mortality rates among Dublin's homeless population low, with just 63 infections and one death recorded.

A new report, 'Saving Lives in the time of Covid-19', by the London School of Economics and the Ana Liffey Drug Project, found that of 750 people tested for Covid-19 across homeless services in Dublin just 63 people tested positive and one fatality was recorded by early June.
