“It’s rising everywhere,” Dr Glynn said adding it was not simply a problem for counties in Level Three lockdown or those previously identified as a specific concern. The new data released today by the Department of Health showed the total number of cases of the virus in Ireland is now 36,169. Dr Glynn said the message was not for young people not to socialise – but for them to do so following the health advice. However he added: “This is a message for all age groups.”Employers in Dublin should be facilitating employees to work from home unless it’s “absolutely necessary,” said Dr Glynn. There were 45pc of the cases confirmed to be associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case.
