Professor warns 'strong suppression' of Covid needs to continue

Contact tracing efforts have not been sufficient, said the DCU professor

Anthony Staines, Professor of Health Systems at the School of Nursing and Human Sciences in DCU, has said that strong suppression of Covid-19 needs to be maintained and that it might be too early to consider opening up the country.

The number of cases of the virus were coming down very slowly and it was going to be challenging as the country was still uncertain how the virus was being contained, he told Newstalk Breakfast.
