HSE investigating lockdown party claims at contact tracing centres

The HSE says it’s investigating complaints that staff at contact-tracing centres held gatherings that breached Covid-19 protocols.

A spokesperson for the health service says the inquiry will look at whether social distancing guidelines were broken at work functions.

The Sunday Independent reports at least three “parties” in two of the HSE’s contact tracing centres are being looked at, after a whistleblower made a protected disclosure alleging celebrations for events like birthdays.
