30% of Covid-19 outbreaks in Dublin hospital due to poor disease prevention methods

Tallaght University Hospital was inspected last December.

Almost a third of Covid-19 outbreaks in a Dublin hospital were contracted due to it having poor disease prevention methods in place.

A report from the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) into Tallaght University Hospital shows that almost a third (30%) of cases in the first surge were hospital associated.
