The Labour Party has called for mandatory mask wearing on public transport and in congregated settings for the months of January and February.
The growing cases are placing pressure on hospital systems, with 534 people waiting on trolleys on Tuesday morning.The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has called for tougher advice from the CMO on mask wearing. Labour’s health spokesperson backed the calls, stating that he would support mandatory mask wearing in certain settings.“We all need to improve on that. Mask wearing has slipped. We need to improve that on public transport in congregated settings.“Maybe [it should be mandatory] on public transport and in congregated settings.
Mr Smith said that nurses are “burnt out”, with one telling him that she was in tears going into work.
