Dublin is set for a county-wide lockdown as public health officials have recommended extra restrictions to battle the spread of Covid-19. Among the ‘tweaks’ is that travel will be restricted into Dublin as well as out of the county, following a surge in Covid-19 figures in the capital. There has already been widespread criticism of the Government’s decision to categorise Dublin at Level 2 on Tuesday, but with additional measures. NPHET briefing notes, seen by the Irish Examiner, make it clear that the group is considering moving Dublin into further restrictions. There has now been a total of 32,023 confirmed cases of Covid-19 confirmed in the country.
