A north Mayo GP has called for the imposition of regional overnight curfews to reduce the spread of Covid-19.
Dr Keith Swanick has said a transient curfew from 9pm to 6am would help limit social interaction and tackle the rate of infection.
The Belmullet-based doctor said such an initiative has proven effective in high transmission zones in other parts of the world.
He made the call after a surge in the number of people who have contracted the virus in the Belmullet Local Electoral Area (LEA) since Christmas.
