There are concerns that complacency could creep into the workplace as coronavirus restrictions ease.
The Acting Chief Medical Officer says they are seeing outbreaks in work settings like building sites, supermarkets and fast food outlets.
Ronan Glynn says these places are the new frontline and is asking employers to ensure workers are protected.
Gerry Light - from the Mandate Trade Union – says they want more information about where exactly he’s talking about.
For its part, Retail Ireland – which represents employers – says the number of covid cases linked to shops has been very limited over recent months and they will continue to follow best workplace practices.
Mandate is also appealing to customers to think about retail workers and their families and to wear a face mask.
