An inquest examining the circumstances around a baby’s death shortly after his birth in Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) has been adjourned after one of six jurors tested positive for covid.

Baby Tom Luke Moynihan was born extremely pale and anaemic but did not receive a blood transfusion for some 22 minutes, the inquest heard on Wednesday.
