People in Dublin need to assume that Covid-19 is circulating in the community and adhere to social distancing, the acting chief medical officer has said. Dr Ronan Glynn said the Department of Health was “particularly concerned” about the increase in cases of Covid-19 in Dublin and Limerick. “The next week is vital and people really need to cut down their social contacts,” he said. “They need to take all the precautions over the next week in those counties. “They need to assume now again, unfortunately, that Covid is circulating in the community and act appropriately.” Dr Glynn added: “I can’t say it strongly enough that people in Dublin in particular need to adhere to physical distancing.
