Speaking yesterday, Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan pleaded with people to continue to work towards reducing incidence of disease and preventing further hospitalisations and deaths.
He said: “”The current 14 day incidence remains more than double the peak incidence experienced during previous Level 5 measures in October. Therefore, now is not the time to drop your guard and start to interact with people outside your household. The risk of transmission in the community remains very high. “
