IRELAND’S chief medical officer has urged people to stay at home and ‘don’t meet up’ over Christmas.
Dr Tony Holohan tweeted this morning after another five Covid-19 related deaths and 527 new cases ere reported by health officials last evening.
On Tuesday, restrictions on household visits and the hospitality sector – to come into effect between Christmas and New Year – are expected to be announced by the government in a bid to curb the rising spread of the coronavirus.
Dr Holohan tweeted: “Cases rising quickly. We have low cases and deaths compared to EU/UK/US. This is at risk now- just as vaccines arrive. To protect yourself & those you love: Stay home. Don’t meet up. Stay away from restaurants/pubs. Avoid crowds. Use masks. Follow health advice.”
