Dr. Tony Holohan shared data tonight that he said “shows rapidly increasing growth rates across the country,” as another 814 coronavirus cases were reported in the past 24 hours.
The main doctor said that the incidence rates of Covid-19 in the last week were higher than half those of the last two weeks in 22 of the 26 counties of the Republic, which means that the virus has increased its spread in those counties last week.
Dr. Holohan asked everyone to limit social contacts and maintain physical distance when away from home to combat the spread.
The Medical Director added: “It is vital that the entire population consistently implement public health advice in their daily lives; Keep your social contacts to an absolute minimum and maintain physical distance when you need to be away from home.
