People who have booked overseas trips should not travel at present due to the risk to themselves, families and the wider society, according to chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan. Asked whether people should cancel their summer holidays abroad, Dr Holohan said public health officials would like them not to travel in their individual interest and in the collective interest. NPHET also reported another 24 new confirmed cases of the disease at its briefing, bringing the total number of cases to 25,462. Dr Holohan said public health officials were beginning to see some “worrying” new trends, with the number of reported cases increasing and some new clusters. At least six of the new cases are linked to international travel, public health officials said.
