Wexford has seen a rising number of Covid-19 cases for the month of August…
Recently, acting Chief Medical Officer Ronan Glynn stated that Wexford is one of a number of counties that are on a watch-list, after the county experienced spikes in Covid-19 cases over the past number of weeks:
“In relation to Dublin, we’re keeping it under review, we keep the situation in all counties under review. But to a certain extent what we’re seeing in Dublin now is a reversion to the situation we would have seen earlier in the padnemic.”
“Obviously Dublin has a very significant population and so it’s not surprising we’re seeing more cases in Dublin than in other counties, but we will keep it closely under review.
“And it’s not just Dublin, we’ve seen 98 cases in Limerick over the past fortnight, 41 cases in Carlow, 47 cases in Wexford, we’re just sending the message out that there are a wide number of counties where we’re seeing significant substantial numbers of cases,” Glynn said in a press conference held yesterday .
Wexford have had a total of 70 new confirmed Covid-19 cases for the month of August.
There has been 47 new cases in Wexford in the previous two weeks alone. Only four other counties had more confirmed Covid-19 cases than Wexford in the previous two weeks.
Overall, 294 Covid-19 cases have been confirmed across County Wexford since the start of the pandemic.
We must remember that this virus hasn’t gone away just yet. We should remain vigilant and should continue following the protocols that are still in place to reduce these spikes and numbers, so that we do not return to another lockdown.
