The HSE’s chief clinical officer Dr Colm Henry has warned that everyone will have to find a way of living with the ‘new normal’ of life in the time of Covid-19.

Dr Henry said that he supports people getting back to work, as suggested by IBEC, but said that apart from individual responsibility, employers have a responsibility to ensure their employees are safe.
