Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases (Resumed)
Dr. Ronan Glynn:
We are absolutely aware of that. There is no group that has not been impacted by this. I know that maternity hospitals in particular have had to bring in measures that significantly impact on the experience of pregnant women and their partners. Of course we are conscious of it. Again, the key to alleviating the impact on pregnant women, or on any other group in our society, is for everyone to do their bit to keep this low. The lower we can keep this disease in our society the greater the level of freedom we can all enjoy and, hopefully, the less the level of worry and anxiety that will pervade amongst us.
