Dr. Ronan Glynn, Acting Medical Director of the Department of Health, said; “47% of the cases reported today are in the city and county of Dublin. For the people of Dublin in particular, this is a critical time to address the spread of the disease in the community. Individual choices can make a difference – rethink your plans for the weekend, reduce the number of people you meet, and avoid social activities that involve large groups of people.

COVID-19 is a highly infectious disease that can spread even when you have no symptoms. Remember, when meeting friends, family, and colleagues, staying 2m apart is the best way to keep everyone safe. “
