Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases (Resumed)

Dr. Ronan Glynn:

I am not at liberty to say precisely how many, but we have had several clusters and cases around the country. Those have been linked not only to sporting activities but to other forms of socialisation. We have also had issues regarding people from different households travelling together to and from events and work. The set of recommendations, therefore, was targeted at decreasing congregation in the round, so that congregation could continue in the areas that are most important. Vitally, that was also done so that all sport could continue.
