Coronavirus: ‘Significant increase’ in cases in Kildare, Laois and Offaly

“People in these regions need to double down on the public health guidelines that are in place. It is strongly recommended that those over 70 in these regions limit the number of people they meet, remain physically distanced, and avoid public transport where possible.”Dr Glynn said there were two more meat-processing factories where clusters have emerged. “One is in Kildare Town while the other is in Timahoe, Co Kildare,” he said.

A number below 1 means the virus is being controlled and will eventually die out, whereas a number over 1 means it is continuing to grow. “If people choose to have house parties, they’re going to have house parties, despite what we say,” he said.
