The HSE should routinely publish a list of Covid-19 hotspots and consider rolling out mobile testing to reduce the risk of viral spread, the co-leader of the Social Democrats Catherine Murphy has said.

The re cent experience in Kildare highlighted access difficulties for non-drivers who had to take public transport to get to a test centre, increasing the risk of viral spread, Deputy Murphy said.
