Cluster of Covid-19 infections at Kerry ‘house party’ investigated

A cluster of Covid-19 cases among a large group of young people who “partied” in rented accommodation in Killarney last weekend is being investigated by public health officials, GPs have been advised.

There have been claims that a person in the group had tested positive for Covid-19 but this was not revealed to others until Sunday. “Our current information is that this group of young people essentially stayed and socialised together – having house parties in their rented accommodation but not attending any other congregate settings like pubs.”

Enhanced vigilance with regard to young people partying and Covid-19 transmission risk was underscored, the GPs were told.
