Clare GP Seeing ‘Big Increase’ In People Presenting With Possible COVID Symptoms

A Shannon GP says she has seen a significant increase in people in this county presenting with possible COVID-19 symptoms over the past seven days.

This county’s incidence rate per 100,000 people is currently the lowest in the country, though public health experts are anticipating a rise in cases across the country as restrictions continue to be lifted for Christmas and the New Year.

From tomorrow, up to three households can mix and people here can travel outside of Clare for the first time since October.
