Dr. Tony Holohan, Medical Director of the Department of Health, said: “We are seeing significant and worrying indicators that this disease is moving in the wrong direction, including an increase in positivity rates and the incidence of 7 and 14 days, and Our 5-day average has now increased to 339 cases. Recent international experience has shown how quickly this disease can get out of control. “

“These trends are even more worrisome due to the delicate and precarious situation in which we find ourselves; As a country, we are heading into a period of possible general mixing between households and intergenerational groups. This is an ideal opportunity for the virus to spread and affect those most vulnerable to its most serious effects. Don’t give COVID-19 this chance – limit your contacts, prioritize who you know, and let’s stay tuned so we can get through this together. NPHET will meet tomorrow to review the epidemiological situation. “
