Monaghan could be in danger of seeing Level 3 restrictions after the incidence rate skyrocketed over the past two weeks.
The county now has an incidence rate of 135 per 100,000 residents, behind only Dublin (156) and Donegal (204), both of which are now subject to new restrictions.
The national incidence rate is currently at 88.2 for the past two weeks, with only Dublin, Donegal, Monaghan and Roscommon above the country’s average.
It comes after Dr. Ronan Glynn said that the next three or four days are “critical” for Dublin’s battle against Covid-19.
He told the Oireachtas Special Committee on Covid-19 Response that there was some reason for optimism in Dublin as the numbers have stabilized in recent days.
However, he cautioned that it was too early to say at this point that it is changing.
He said the next three to four days are “critical” for the capital’s response to the virus, and said that if the restrictions expire tomorrow, he would recommend that they be extended.
Dr. Glynn said it is possible to turn things around, saying that the “positive story” that continues to be lost is what people in many counties have done to turn a negative trajectory.
