Public health officials are recommending the use of face masks in some public settings this Christmas as a surge has been seen in the number of illnesses from Covid to the Flu.
Mask-wearing on public transport, in shops and at mass this Christmas are all included in the latest advice by Chief Medical Officer, Breda Smyth, and is backed by the HSE’s Covid chief, Colm Henry.
Professor Smyth urged the public to be extremely cautious while out and about shopping, commuting, and socialising this Christmas after a huge spike in Covid cases was seen this month.
