The State’s public health team has warned that “stricter measures” may need to be reinstated if there is an upsurge in cases of Covid-19 following the Government’s decision to accelerate the plan to reopen Ireland.
The team “acknowledged that there are other important considerations for Government with regard to the reduction of measures, such as social and economic considerations, while noting the potential effects of current restrictions on the wider health and wellbeing of the population”, the letter read. NPHET also said that people would be asked to “stay local” and travel within 20km from Monday, although the Government decided that people could instead travel any distance within their county from Monday.Speaking at a media briefing on Friday, Dr Holohan said NPHET still had “concern” over groups of people congregating in shopping centres, which had initially led to the group advising against their reopening in phase two.
On pubs reopening, Dr Holohan said this should only apply “if a pub is going to operate as a restaurant... and if they’re in full compliance with public health advice in the way a restaurant would need to be”. Some 48 per cent of the cases were in Dublin, followed by Cork and Kildare , which each made up 6 per cent of the national total.
The North’s Department of Health also reported that three more people had tested positive for the virus, taking the number of confirmed cases in the North to 4,776.In the letter sent to Mr Harris on Thursday, Dr Holohan said that NPHET had met and discussed plans to move on to the next phase of reopening Irish society, and that it was “impossible to predict with certainty what the future trajectory of the Covid-19 disease will be in Ireland”.
Yea good chance of implementing that, people have given up 3 months to help the health service get prepared for this, they were late calling it and are late now reopening. Let the people who pay the bills back to work or the country is doomed. If you’re at risk, stay home.
