The tone from chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan has changed – words like “concern” have replaced “encouraging”Are you a lockdown rule breaker? The goal is to get to 50-to-100 cases a day by early December to allow the country to reopen. The virus has been driven down, but over 400 cases a day is still high.

The lower the number of cases in December the greater the value we will get from lockdown.
