The INMO is calling for the HSE to step up efforts to protect healthcare staff at work.

One in three Covid-19 patients in Ireland are healthcare workers.

The organisation wants the health service to facilitate staff who come into unprotected close contact with a confirmed case to self-isolate for 14 days.

It's also asked that all healthcare staff, not just those in nursing homes, be provided with regular Covid-19 testing.

The HSE's Clinical Operations Officer, Dr Colm Henry, doesn't think there's merit in regular testing - press play.
