Our modelling shows that to make a success of this, we need get viral transmission down to very low levels. A reproduction number of 0.9 or 0.7 won’t be enough, we need to aim for R = 0.5. 3/5

We can all feel overwhelmed & worried. It would be bizarre if we didn’t considering all that is going on. But if we each focus on what we can control, we will make a real impact on the direction of #Covid19 over next few weeks. Feeling down?Text 50808 anytime 24/7 for a text chat

A Garda went to a press conference today in Kildare while waiting for a Covid-19 result. It then came back positive shortly after the media briefing. Working journalists at the event now waiting to hear from HSE contact tracers.

@SeanDefoe Unless Distance Learning is made available for those families who can keep their children home then life will continue as normal for many of us regardless of what level we are at!

@Creggie82 I wonder 🧐

[Eimear Cregg @Creggie82]

This is outrageous that the DES, HSE and @normafoleytd1 have placed this Principal in this incredibly stressful situation - @intonews need to act now , am so angry reading this

[Jessica Dempsey @jdstaines]

@Creggie82 @NormaFoleyTD1 Distance learning needs to be an option, my children aren’t in a risk category but I would happily keep them at home to help protect others. This all or nothing approach isn’t good enough!

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

A Cabinet meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow and it's expected at that point, a decision will be taken on what additional restrictions should be imposed.

Update

Lack of urgency with regards to making a decision about moving to Level 4 or 4+ leads to confusion & uncertainty for businesses

Cabinet should meet tomorrow , make a decision and move on

As the say “a nation holds its breathe “ all weekend

[TheJournal.ie @thejournal_ie]

It's understood that government leaders are leaning towards imposing Level 4 restrictions with some adjustments to bring them closer to Level 5, but any final decision must be made by the full Cabinet https://t.co/1mBEsi1g1j
