One of the country's top Intensive Care doctors has said she does not want to see thousands of people returning to work in crowded offices in the years to come - because the Covid-19 pandemic has proven so many of them could work safely and comfortably from home.
Dr Catherine Motherway, who is past president of the Intensive Care Society, and head of the ICU at the Mid Western University Regional hospital in Limerick, said the country has seen thousands of people confined to their own homes because of the spread of the virus and they had shown they could very well adapt to working there - where the threat of infection was so much lower.
