Is Another Lockdown Inevitable?
The Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Tony Holohan, says he’s even more worried about the rise in Covid-19 cases now that he was when NPHET recommended the country move to level 5 restrictions. The country’s most senior medic is predicting up to 1,400 cases a day next month if we stay on the same trajectory. Meanwhile, the Tánaiste yesterday said that we have 10 days to get the virus under control with level 3 restrictions. Here in Clare, our cases continue to rise. Last week, we heard from Dr. Mai Mannix, the Director of Public Health, HSE Mid West, who told us that Clare was at a critical juncture. 7 days later - where does the situation stand? On Friday's Morning Focus, Gavin Grace spoke once again to Dr. Mannix.
