CMO Appeals To Public To Adhere To Rules As We Enter Christmas Week
Meanwhile, Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has expressed "significant concern" about the level of infection.
"The country simply cannot cope with this level of infection as we head into Christmas week."
"With vaccines offering hope in the coming months for our most vulnerable groups, we want to keep them alive and well so that they can receive it."
“Each one of us must do all we can to protect public health - cut your contacts, see only those you need to see. Choose to socialise safely, outdoors if possible. If you see a crowd, avoid it."
