Mask-wearing on public transport, in shops and at mass this Christmas is back after being strongly recommended by the CMO (Chief Medical Officer) Breda Smyth and the HSE’s Covid chief, Colm Henry.
Professor Smyth urged the public to be extremely wary when shopping, commuting and socialising this Christmas after a huge spike in Covid cases this month.
She said we are now ‘back in the eye of a respiratory virus storm’ as she updated her official advice to start wearing masks again on buses, trains and in crowded places like shops and at mass.
