Calls for Government to set up regional isolation centres after Cork worker was moved to Dublin to quarantine

The Irish Examiner reports the healthcare worker had been availing of temporary HSE accommodation at the Kingsley Hotel before they tested positive for Covid-19.

The person was then moved to the City West in Dublin.

The City West facility is the only isolation centre available for those who cannot self-isolate at home. 

The healthcare worker has written to the Minister for Health asking him to set up regional isolation centres to minimise travel and the risk of spreading the virus.
