HSE Mid-West have said they do not review match footage when determining whether an individual is a close or casual contact.

Confirmation from public health specialist Dr Rose Fitzgerald on Clare FM that HSE Mid-West do not review match recordings rules out the designation of two Clare hurlers as close contacts of a Covid-19 positive Wexford opponent from the watching back of the May 16 League game between the counties.
