A UCC student has challenged what she says has been a consistent and unfair narrative throughout the pandemic that has vilified students as super-spreaders of Covid-19.

Hannah Emerson, a Medical and Health Sciences student at University College Cork, said that students have suffered throughout the pandemic too and “99% of students” have obeyed public health guidelines.
