Covid-19: Top Irish professor says that pubs are ‘riskiest place to be’ during the pandemic




A top Irish professor has said that pubs are some of the ‘riskiest places to be’ during the pandemic.

Luke O’Neill, a professor of biochemistry at Trinity College, is recommending that people avoid pubs as these premises represent the ‘perfect breeding ground’ for infectious agents such as Covid-19.

Some pubs reopened across Ireland last week, leading to chaotic scenes with little or no social distancing or other safety guidelines. Many now fear a sharp increase in infection numbers over the next 14 days.
