Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has expressed concern over a "worrying trend" of cases of Covid-19 rising in Ireland as well as "some new clusters".
Dr Holohan said: "We are starting to see a worrying trend, with the number of reported cases increasing, and some new clusters." He said as time goes on, the role and risk of travel will increase. "We are genuinely very concerned about that." The National Public Health Emergency Team is working with the Department of Transport on this detailed regulation.Dr Holohan revealed that in relation to some recent Covid-19 cases, particularly among young people, "the numbers of contacts .... have actually been quite large".That was a very different situation from back in April when there was a much larger number of cases, but the average number of contacts for each of the cases was two to three.
"As restrictions are lifted and people move about more, it's important that we use the tools that have helped us suppress the virus to date," said Dr Holohan. — RTÉ News June 29, 2020 "I, probably like many others, was naive in thinking that my age and health would protect me from a very infectious disease."
