, the department’s chief medical officer, said the rugby match would result in a number of people travelling from an affected region and there would be a “high risk of cases being imported” from Italy where there has been an outbreak of the virus.
The minister said that his decision to call for the postponement of the match was “not taken lightly but we must act on the basis of public health advice.” Mr Ross said the cancellation would have a “bad effect” on tourism over the weekend of the rugby fixture but that there were “bigger issues which obviously have to be a priority.”
How big a threat can it be to outdoor events? Use masks!
He has said if they give him back his seat he will reinstate the game, if not all sport will be cancelled soon 🤣🤣🤣
Influenza is still a bigger threat. Over 2,000 people were hospitalised due to influenza in Ireland this winter and at least 28 people have died. That’s more deaths from the flu than deaths from coronavirus in Korea, the second most affected country

Go away. You've been cancelled.
