Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Childcare: Impact of Covid-19

Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

Absolutely. Also, the most significant issue that causes healthcare workers to become infected is fatigue. Our members tell us that when they have the dual responsibility of working night duty to facilitate continuing at work while also attending to childcare needs during the day, it is a huge issue. Many of them have had to change their rosters to continue to work.
