Positivity rate rises from 1.7% to 2.5% in schools where mass testing took place

The latest HSE data also shows 463 Covid-19 cases were recorded among children of school-going age in the wider community between November 29th and December 5th.

The transport committee had called on Wednesday for testing at airports to allow for a greater resumption of air travel. Speaking on Newstalk FM’s Breakfast, Mr Donnelly said one of the big potential vectors for the disease was people returning to Ireland for Christmas. The minister said public health experts had very serious concerns about such tests and pointed out that no country was using antigen tests for mass testing at airports.

Dr Scally said there was every likelihood of a further lockdown in early 2021 because of activities around the Christmas holidays.Mr Donnelly also defended the Government’s priority list for the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine which he said was based on the advice of the National Immunisation Advisory Committee.

Close down the schools

Surely it is time to scrap these Press Conferences and put Holohan back in his box. This fella thinks and acts like he runs the Country. The daily brief should be given to the Gov and let our elected reps decide what to do with the info.

Always another group of people to blame with his fictional PCR test isn’t that right CMOIreland That PCR test is less reliable than the cervical check lab results prior to the debacle being exposed! Failure after failure & yet here you still are.... zero accountability.

But it’s not the schools it’s the pubs fault, isn’t that what they were blaming,

Yet of the 2,099 claimed deaths with Covid 19, only 148 had no underlying clinical conditions; plus excess deaths for the year are normal. Context is everything.

That’s they’re new excuse to lockdown.

No work has been done to ventilate classrooms.

here we go again... January lock down ..

Tip of the Iceberg and confirming what we already knew but of which has been denied to the public in terms of figures etc due NPHET and the HSE ignoring schools as places of transmission, or rather not reporting. Interesting as to why they’re adding school figures in now? Joke!
