Gulin warns that restrictions may be imposed elsewhere

The deputy chief medical officer said the restrictions set in the counties of Kildare, Laois, and Offery could apply to any other region in the future.

Dr. Ronan Glynn told RTÉ’s Six One News: “We don’t have to wait so long for issues to occur in other regions, so we all need to be careful and follow public health guidelines. There is.”

He said one of the key measures focused on the 14-day incidence. He said that Kildare was 130 per 100,000 tonight and Dublin was 10 or 11 in comparison.

Dr. Gulin said he had not considered a regional blockade at this time, and hopes that the three counties will escape the blockade in two weeks.

He is also the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) I was expecting more cases today.

The surrogate CMO sees further testing of hundreds of employees and their families will significantly increase the number of Covid-19 cases over the next few days.

He said clusters are a close contact with the people working at these facilities, and there is one optimistic view that he believes the virus has not leaked to the three county communities.

If it came out, it would be much harder to control, he told RTÉ.

“We’ve been very closely monitoring the situation in these counties over the past 10 days,” Dr. Grin said, adding that she noticed the situation in the states of Kildare, Lois, and Offery on Thursday night.

“In these cases, the public health team [to factories] And all the necessary measures that need to be taken will be taken. “

The reason for more cases is “we are more aware that more tests are being performed because people are able to be asymptomatic,” he said.

Another message he wanted to emphasize was that he asked all to be alert, as there are 50 cases of Covid-19 tonight in counties other than Laois, Kildare, and Offaly.

More details on why NPHET recommends the restrictions currently in force in the three counties were revealed today in a letter published at gov.ie.

Dr. Grin, in his advice to the Minister of Health, stated that there were 549 cases in Ireland in the last 14 days. 75% were people under the age of 45.

150 of these cases occurred in Kildare. 75% of cases were people under the age of 45, and 94% became infected as a result of close contact with confirmed cases.

There have been 55 new cases in Laois over the last 14 days. Of these, 65% were in people under the age of 45, and 91% were the result of close contact with confirmed cases.

There were 36 new cases in the last two weeks of the offering. 65% were under the age of 45 and 71% were close contacts.

Dr. Grin said that there are now a small number of cases in these counties associated with community infections, and the majority of cases are described in known outbreaks and are close contacts of confirmed cases.

However, he said there were real risks that could spread more widely to the community over the next few days to weeks due to the outbreaks in the region.

The number of hospitals and intensive care, and the number of deaths did not show a worrying trend due to the age profile of the cases, but there may be a delay before changes in these indicators become apparent. It was

Last night, Dr. Grin said it would take a week to 10 days before the effects of the restrictions imposed on the three counties could be seen.

He also said that people who are in close contact with existing cases expect to see a significant number of cases in the coming days.

He said they hope to see the spread of the virus and the decline in the number of new cases in the next week.

If the virus was contained, the “probable” restriction would last as long as planned for two weeks, and the county could return to where it was, he said.

But he warned that this could not be guaranteed.

Gardi, meanwhile, has set up a series of Covid-19 checkpoints in the Midlands to ensure that the public complies with new government regulations.

Checkpoints are randomly placed in areas near the boundaries of County Offaly, County Kildare, and Laois, and drivers in the three counties remember the new restrictions imposed from midnight.
