We have to endure the threat of viruses

Deputy Chief Medical Officer doesn’t think it’s impossible to eliminate Covid-19 from Ireland “unfortunately” because things get worse and “we have to endure that threat” ..

Dr. Ronan Glynn said the medium-term strategy from an NPHET perspective is “protecting priorities.”

He said the government is working on broader intergovernmental plans.

Dr. Grin said last week’s measures were “introduced to reduce rally in some situations because I want to protect my ability to gather in other situations.”

“We want to protect our children’s ability to get together at school, people go, access our health services and protect the most vulnerable people throughout society, but we all work together. You can do it only if you can do it together.”

Over the next three weeks, NPHET said, “We need to reduce discretionary activity so that we can get things up and running,”.
