The level of overcrowding at Cork University Hospital is now so bad infection control measures needed to prevent the spread of Covid-19 can not be maintained, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) have said.

The number of patients waiting for beds at CUH this morning was the highest since the start of the pandemic with 63 patients being treated on a trolley.
