At this rate, will we be able to open schools and universities safely in September? Young people may be less likely to die from Covid-19, but "Long Covid" can have debilitating effects in the long-term that could leave us with multiple, population-wide health problems for the next few decades.
Therefore, it is important to move toward elimination of the virus and to implement concrete and effective solutions to open schools, universities and workplaces safely.
This discussion was led by Prof. Aoife McLysaght, TCD and included a Questions and Answers session.
For all meetings we welcome advance questions from members of the press, politicians, special interest groups and the public sent to: isagcovid at gmail.com, and invite you also to ask them live.
