However, public health officials still warn that the Covid-19 figures are going in the wrong direction. State Medical Director Dr. Tony Holohan said Thursday that recent progress in reducing the spread of the coronavirus has stalled, as people have “slipped” on adhering to lockdown restrictions over the past week. .
The previous sharp decline in the number of new cases in the first weeks of the Level 5 restrictions had stalled, meaning that the country effectively “lost a week,” Dr. Holohan said.
The National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) reported that people were socializing more as the six-week lockdown period progressed, with others working unnecessarily from the office.
