Woman twice broke visitor ban at Cork Covid ward and took selfies with infectious patient

Two breaches of security occurred at an isolated Covid-19 ward in Cork's South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital during which a woman gained entry to see a relative and took selfies at the bedside.

According to sources in the hospital, the woman got on to the ward, which is designated as strictly no visitors, without being spotted by staff, and went to her relative’s bedside where she proceeded to take photographs before she was discovered.
