Calls have been made for the HSE to establish a dedicated public health team to support schools and assist with communications when Covid-19 cases and outbreaks occur.

The calls by the Irish Primary Principals Network (IPPN) for a seven-day out-of-hours public health service specifically for schools, come as the first case of Covid-19 was detected at a primary school in Munster over the weekend.
