Risk Of Importing New Covid-19 Cases From Great Britain

A top public health doctor says he’s worried about the risk of importing new cases of covid-19 to the island of Ireland from Great Britain.

Dr Gabriel Scally says any plan to lift lockdown here any earlier depends on the number of new cases emerging staying low.

Two more people infected with covid-19 were reported to have died yesterday, and 66 more people have tested positive for the virus.

But Dr Scally says many parts of the country are on the right track.

There are now 24,990 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the country.

There were no new cases confirmed here in Clare yesterday.

The total number of cases in this county is 323.
