Leaving Cert students 'terrified' about contracting Covid in run-up to exams

Close contact
Regional members of the Irish Second Level Students’ Union say many students have expressed worry about contracting Covid-19 or being categorised as a close contact through no fault of their own.
Eva McDonnell, a sixth-year student and regional officer based in Ballintemple in Cork, said it was a frequent topic of conversation.
She said her chosen course has very high points which are likely to rise higher still this year.
“I’m terrified of contracting Covid-19 beforehand. I’ve put so much work into these exams, and I don’t want to see that go to waste. I’d be devastated if I realised that those hours of study and piles of biology flashcards were all for nothing.”
