The daughter of a 92-year-old woman who died after getting Covid-19 in hospital during the second wave of the pandemic says she feels let down by the system.
Agnes Arundel’s daughter, Mary Holland, told Cork City Coroner’s Court she and her family were upset that their mother was transferred on a freezing cold night in January 2021 from Cork University Hospital (CUH), just a few days after testing positive for Covid, to the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital (SIVUH).
