Over the weekend misinformation started to spread at a phenomenal rate around Whatsapp, causing more stress and worry for people who are already feeling overwhelmed by measures being taken to try and stop the spread of Covid-19.

Sean also addressed the 50,000 people who now find themselves out of work following the pub closures around Ireland and updated us all on where we stand today when it comes to Covid-19 in Ireland.
