Increase In Covid-19 Clusters In Family Homes

There's been a rise in the number of Covid-19 clusters emerging in private households in recent days.

Two weeks ago, 6 clusters were confirmed in family homes, but that's risen to 16 in the past week.

Meanwhile ,The HSE's under fire for contradicting the Health Minister on contact tracing figures in meat plants.
TD Denis Naughton's written to Simon Harris as he believes he was either given the wrong stats or he inadvertently misled the Dail.

He says the figures he gave to Leinster House on Thursday evening were different to the health authority's the following morning.
