Eamon Ryan has revealed that the Government will consider reintroducing mandatory mask wearing if cases of Covid continue to spike.
The Greens chief was speaking after CMO, Professor Breda Smith, and the HSE’s chief clinical officer, Colm Henry, both recommended donning masks again on public transport and in crowded places over Christmas, including when shopping and at mass.
Concern is growing in medical circles that the deadly virus is making a comeback - Covid cases are up 75% since the start of the month - and experts have advised people that they should wear masks.
