Coronavirus – All news: The public health emergency committee for the control of the coronavirus epidemic in the country suggests to the government the resumption of a universal blockade in Ireland. The committee sent a letter to the Dublin government proposing level 5 restrictions.
All counties in Ireland are at level 2 of the restrictive measures, except Dublin and Donegal, which are at level 3.
Under the restrictive measures of Level 5, people must stay at home, except in the case of physical activity within a radius of 5 km from their home, while small gatherings are allowed at funerals and weddings.
Although Ireland is ranked 14th in the rate of spread of the Covid epidemic in the list of 31 countries monitored by the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a member of the public health committee that recommended the universal lockdown cautions that If the current trend, in early November there will be no more ICU beds available.
“It is not just fear, it is reality.” If we continue like this, if you or I have a serious car accident in November or we need urgent heart surgery, there will be no bed available in the ICU, “warned Mary Favier, from the network RTE.
Ireland has opened its economy at a slower pace than the rest of Europe since May, and despite the fact that multinationals, a large sector of the country, have mitigated the effects of the epidemic, unemployment remains close to 15%, although the Government protects wages in many sectors of the economy.
“It’s insane. It will cause decimation if we close now,” warned Duncan Graham, director of Retail Excellence.
“I doubt that any of us slept at night. So many worries and questions on people’s minds … Today there should be clarity,” said Simon Harris, Minister of Health during the shutdown in Ireland, one of the strictest in Europe, and current Minister of Higher Education.
