Two asylum-seeking healthcare workers who worked in nursing homes during the first wave of Covid-19 have received a letter from the Department of Justice saying they have been refused permission to remain in the State.

If these healthcare workers don't indicate within five days of receiving the letter that they will voluntarily leave, they will be served with a deportation order.
