These clusters could see a number of people affected in a workplace, a school or a club, according to Dr Holohan. So what are the plans in place if – or when – clusters of Covid-19 break out in specific sections of the country, or within specific workplaces?A cluster of Covid-19 is defined as three cases or more being diagnosed within a particular setting in 72-hour period.The majority of those have been in either a nursing home or a residential institution. Over 1,000 of the 1,600 people who have lost their lives so far, died in nursing homes.
Ennis said there’d been a “commonality of purpose” among employers and trade unions among other industries with the goal of keeping workers safe while also continuing/going back to work but this wasn’t the case at meat plants. This team has the aim of controlling the spread of the virus, mitigating the effects of the outbreak and stooping the outbreak by preventing further cases of Covid-19.
It adds: “An outbreak of Covid-19 can happen in a variety of settings e.g. the home, community, residential care facilities, hospitals and the workplace. A specific investigation is required into how cases were exposed to Covid-19 to inform how they aim to control the spread. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youPeople affected by the outbreak should be delivered the healthcare they need, and those potentially affected by the outbreak given advice on hand hygiene and PPE.
The chief medical officer said: “If that’s the right response at a point in time, then that might be the response exactly.
Open the schools.Thare's still one moonth untill the summer hollidays,new cases are low. Let the kids finish the school year properly. OPEN THE SCHOOLS NOW.
It's already fairly dismal given the no of people who have lost their lives.
Sports pitches closed while Meat plants with stay open ! Could not make it up !!
Open the churches Tony, what a joke, and closed all day on Sunday🙄🙄
Open up the country and the economy NOW. I don't remember voting for Holohan.' Yes Minister' was prophetic.
So the virus in this country is going to behave differently to how it's behaved in other European countries that are a month or more into opening their economies?
If the R0 rate goes back above 1, it will not just be a failure, it will be a dangerous crisis.
I've already said that if we were going to be closed for longer we will face another pandemic : anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, domestic violence. And what about special needs people, both physically and mentally disabled? No answers to this one, doctor huh?
Clusters smusters Holohan....clinging onto the spotlight with your nebulous spiel, destroying our country and people's lives with fictitious nonsense. You will be held accountable.
I was a fan of Holohan until he said visitor's couldn't bring in Covid
Luckily we have 22 European countries who have opened schools to watch as Guinea pigs.
How can he tell, seeing as they know nothing of how this virus works and yet know everything at the same time, but they can't tell us when screening services can resume
Location of clusters needs to be made public so that it can be avoided and safety of public ensured. More specific information required!
Yet they can't tell when screening services can resume, they need to get that crystal ball serviced!
