Dr Ronan Glynn and Taoiseach Micheál Martin both said that socialising within family and social groups was contributing mostly to the growth and that was a trend that was being observed nationally

He said experts were seeing high numbers of cases in the Derry area and it was not surprising that there were cases emerging in Donegal. He said that the cases were happening at family events, a phenomenon that was happening all over the country.

He said it was important to have honest conversations as there was an “opportunity now to arrest the growth”.Dr Glynn said there had been a significant number of cases among people in their late teens and early 20s.However he said is his message to that group was it had to make choices. Mr Martin added: “Sport in my view is vital in terms of physical and mental well being,” adding that it shone a light on what“It gives tremendous joy to those who are participating. The choice is we want to continue sport throughout the winter but behaviour will dictate that and it will be more challenging as we go through the winter in different sports.

NPHET recommended last week that Dublin needed to be moved to Level 3 of the Government’s new five-level alert system for containing coronavirus and that pubs not serving food should stay shut when they reopened elsewhere in the country on Monday. The Government also agreed with NPHET’s recommendation that pubs serving food, and restaurants, while staying open in Dublin could only serve customers outside.

“Where pubs and bars have reopened in other countries, various conditions have been imposed including reduced opening hours, social distancing, mandatory seating, table service only, booking required, limited number per table, mandatory wearing of masks by staff, and capacity limits,” minutes of the meeting state.

Martin wouldn't know a virus if it jumped up and bit him on the ar$e.

Donegal has 1 hospital to cover an area the same as that from Dublin to Athlone. 1 hospital. Yet it has remained open for those holidaying from all over the country. Why?

Shock horror! It is spreading just as the common cold does, and they still try to ramp up the fear. Stop with the lies..the truth about this virus is very close to being revealed and there will be many very angry ppl. It's all about control. ItsNotAboutTheVirus

Contact tracing..How many contact tracers are currently in post- nd not redeployed from other HSE Depts or Army Cadets HSELive paulreiddublin

Note to the two not so wise men. We're social beings and we're 7-months into this situation. What do they expect?

Hopefully Donegal ignores this and carries on.

Oh my God, imagine people spending time with family, lock them up

I really hope the strike out and revolt against this Fascist crap.
