According to RTE, reducing the number of people allowed on social visits to people’s homes will be a key recommendation on the NPHET agenda.
Tighter restrictions can also be introduced for those wishing to visit residential facilities to protect vulnerable people.
Health experts will focus any new restrictions on Dublin, as cases rise and the incidence rate becomes alarmingly high.
More than 1,000 new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in all counties in Ireland during the past week.
DISEASE PEAK
The county’s 14-day incidence rate increased to 39.6 per 100,000 residents with Dublin’s incidence rate at 67.8.
Professor Philip Nolan, Chairman of NPHET’s Irish Epidemiological Models Advisory Group, revealed that while the country’s breeding number is close to 1.0, Dublin’s is now 1.4, where the disease is growing around five percent per cent. day.
He warned: “If this continued, the number of cases would double every 14 days.”
“The truth is that the increase in cases in Dublin is driving the increase in cases nationwide.”
REDUCE SOCIAL CONTACTS
Acting Medical Director Dr. Ronan Glynn has urged the people of Dublin to be tough on social distancing and hand hygiene measures.
He urged people in the capital to cut off social contacts for the next week and take all precautions.
He said: “Speaking about the hospitalization figures, Dr. Glynn said:” It is a reason to be concerned. We are watching that very closely … things are generally stable, but I have stressed that we are particularly concerned about Dublin and Limerick.
‘LEAVE THE GUARD DOWN’
“People are letting their guard down in social settings.
“It is a significant volume of disease. It is not limited to any one setting as we have seen previously in other counties.”
If the Government were to heed the NPHET recommendations, the new restrictions would be in effect for three weeks in Dublin.
