People not disclosing close contacts, public health officials warn

Dr Mai Mannix, director of Public Health Mid-West is urging the public to be fully forthcoming with contact tracers.

The Department of Public Health Mid-West is urging people with Covid-19 to speak “openly” with contact tracers, amid concerns that some people are not fully disclosing their close contacts. 

In a statement, Public Health Mid-West said it is having difficulties establishing “the full range” of close contacts from confirmed cases of Covid-19 with the issue particularly prevalent among those in smaller workplaces due to fears the workplace could suffer temporary closure as a result.
