Contact tracers dealing with a significant outbreak amongst students living in off-campus accommodation at the University of Limerick (UL) are continuing to see small and larger social gatherings taking place. 

UL this week will facilitate another round of on-campus mass testing for all students, whether or not they have symptoms, to help manage the current outbreak and prevent further spread.
