Phoning someone to say that they have the virus is never easy — but one doctor working in the Mid-West region said contact tracing calls around weddings are the hardest to make.

There have been over 6,500 cases across Limerick, Clare, and North Tipperary in the last two weeks, according to the HSE department of Public Health in the Mid-West.
