Despite asking Irish health experts for stricter epidemiological measures, the government has only tightened up a bit.

Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

The Irish government did not accept a proposal from health experts on Sunday night to raise the level of containment against the coronavirus epidemic to the strictest level, five, but tightened the rules on Monday.

Ireland’s Health Emergencies Committee has suggested that a full four-week lockdown would be needed to curb the coronavirus epidemic. So far, the panel’s proposals have been almost fully accepted by the Irish Government, but not this time. Instead of five tiers, he ordered three tiers, which is a tightening as 24 of the country’s 26 counties so far have only had two tiers, with just three in Dublin and Donegal.

At level five, residents are asked to stay home, to move in just for exercise, but no more than five kilometers apart. In the case of the triple degree, which is expected to be valid from Tuesday, travel between counties is prohibited, no more than six guests can come to a private house at a time and occasionally from a single home, all other family gatherings or social are prohibited. Non-food pubs cannot accommodate more than 15 guests at a time and can only be received outdoors, museums and other cultural institutions will be closed.

In Ireland, with a population of 4.9 million, 38,000 people have so far been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus and died in 1810. With 104 infected people per 100,000 inhabitants, the country is in the center of Europe, but he fears that there is little capacity to provide intensive hospital care. This is mainly the reason why health experts have called for a protection level of five, estimating that all intensive beds could be filled within a month if the epidemic does not subside.
