Dr Mai Mannix, Director of Public Health Mid-West.
Public health officials in the mid-west are urging the public not to get distracted by the gradual decrease in Covid-19 case numbers.
The total number of cases in north Tipp Limerick, and Clare on Monday was 70, down from 238 two weeks previously.
However, a joint statement from public health bodies in the region states that the daily figures still don’t present a full picture, as close contacts aren’t being tested.
Director of Public Health Mid-West, Dr Mai Mannix, is warning against any shift in behaviour, saying the baseline of cases remains far too high to drop the guard.
