MEMBERS of the public in Limerick, Clare, and North Tipperary are being urged to be extra vigilant amid the gradual easing of public health restrictions.
All students have returned to in-classroom education and the phased restarting of construction has also begun.
Making a public appeal, Dr Mai Mannix, Director of Public Health Mid-West, said: “While the easing of restrictions is welcome, it does mean there is a greater risk of infection if we do not apply basic Public Health guidelines. Simple measures, such as mask-wearing, social distancing, avoiding social gatherings, and washing our hands, have helped prevent serious outbreaks from occurring.
