39% are now wearing masks and gloves since the Covid-19 outbreak first started. Individual worries have shifted from the Pandemic’s impact on the Irish economy to worries about their Jobs and Employment.
Last month, the Government advised that face masks or coverings should
be worn in situations where social distancing might be difficult while an
increase in demand for face masks has led to the publication of new safety
guidelines by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.
