Dr. Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said; “While we have experienced very significant improvement in incidence over recent weeks, I am concerned that it appears to be slowing down at much too high a level of infection. People need to take real care in any setting in which they come into contact with others. “In particular, workplaces and retail settings need to review their existing protocols and ensure that their staff and customers are protected as much as possible. “Given the prevalence of the B117 variant and how infectious it is, it is extremely important that people take all preventative measures possible, including staying home.”
