The 14-day incidence rate of coronavirus infections across Dublin has fallen for the first time in two weeks, according to the latest figures published by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.
Likewise, the rate in Dublin South East fell to 143.9 cases per 100,000 from 150.4. The rate in Dublin West continued to rise, however, increasing to 148.1 cases per 100,000 from 140.3. The national rate of infections over the past 14 days stood at 70.7 cases per 100,000, up from 70.4 for 24 hours earlier.
Prof McConkey, who is head of the Department of International Health and Tropical Medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland , said this was the time to take action.
Reopen the pubs !
probably cause we all left
Well given that last Thursday/Friday tests are only going into the numbers now, it is unlikely that it’s going down as a consequence of Dublin being put into Level 3 and a bit last Friday
This is due solely to the unusually low number of cases on 8 September (50). It is very much not indicative of the trend
Roller coaster ride!
