THE 14-day Covid-19 incidence rate per 100,000 population is now almost three times the national average.
It comes as the latest figures show that there were 38 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Donegal today, second only to Dublin (58)
The Health Protection Surveillance Centre has been notified of 5 additional deaths related to Covid-19 and 270 confirmed cases of Covid-19.
Dr. Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said it was important to keep up the progress that we have achieved in recent weeks.
“Ireland now has the lowest 14-day incidence of Covid-19 in the EU according the latest ECDC figures and we need to hold firm to this position. As the country moves into Level 3, there is no room for complacency in our response to Covid-19.
“As more services reopen for business, remember to use the basic public health advice as a guide when organising your time. When you are out in shops and accessing services, try to avoid high risk situations and wear a face covering when social distancing is not possible on busy streets and crowded outdoor areas. When you come home from shopping or being outdoors, remember that washing your hands is your first priority. For those of us who cannot work from home, the wearing of a face covering is now advised when moving around busy indoor workplaces and in communal work areas. If you are planning to travel around your county, consider first whether it is absolutely necessary to travel.”
