The National Public Health Emergency Team are holding a meeting this evening to assess the rising Covid-19 numbers.
Older and vulnerable people are being strongly advised to limit the number of people they meet to a "very small core group". Dr Glynn said the numbers yesterday and over the past week represent "a significant escalation" in the profile of coronavirus in Ireland. Today is Dr Glynn's last day as Acting Chief Medical Officer with the Department of Health confirming that Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan will return to work tomorrow.Health Minister Stephen Donnelly expressed his "sincere thanks" to Dr Glynn for all his work as Acting CMO.
'Level 5 restrictions for entire country', nine words for them, you can stick it where the sun don't shine 😉
We are essentially OCCUPIED by NPHET this situation has got to stop.
No one elected NPHET to run the country
Worrying? There hasn't even been a single death from it today
Level 2 here we come
CMOIreland only back in the job a few minutes and already planning to lockdown the country. I don’t remember his name on any ballot paper.
No face masks necessary from 5th Oct 20
End restrictions
Lockdown should have happened weeks ago , millions of Irish will die as a result If inaction from the government
The Department of Health says NPHET met today and was chaired by Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan.
So worrying, RTE, the Journal have to essentially carry over deaths to record '10 deaths in one day' to scare us further. Another sad, pathetic installment in this establishments history
Bunch of jokers reopen the country and stop acting little like a bunch of scared toddlers
Restrictions should be based on a significant rise in hospitalisations or deaths
Stricter fines an arrest needed for anymore restrictions to be put into effect
Time for lvl 4 across the country
ronan_glynn One last scaretactic move by this liar who only wants you to live in fear from his bullshit. Good riddance to him
Goodbye already Ronan
Give us a break. Testing, testing, testing to try and find more asymptomatic to justify further destruction on our country. The only sickness that is sweeping the country is an unbearable burden of mental health, financial instability and toxic fear. Go home lads you’re drunk
Them frauds at NPHET can go fuck themselves. Their contradictory nonsense won't be taken seriously anymore
Glynn’s last blast to lock the country down before he goes back to his regular job tomorrow.
NPHET FG and FF plan PR move after protests expose the truth of the lie
