On Saturday, Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health, Dr Tony Holohan warned that there’s a very real risk of a return of widespread community transmission.
“This virus is highly infectious and, as a result, the return of widespread community transmission remains a very real risk,” he said.
“To protect us all, especially our oldest and most vulnerable, personal preventative behaviours such as good and frequent hand washing, social distancing and respiratory etiquette remain as crucial as they were at the outset of this crisis.”
