CMO Issues Stark Warning About Transmission

Dr. Tony Holohan is appealing to people to follow public health advice this Christmas.

He's also warned that Ireland's incidence rate is growing faster than any of our European Neighbours.

“Unfortunately, none of the indicators of this disease are showing encouraging signs."

"Ireland now has the fastest growing incidence rate in the European Union.”

“This Christmas, the best present you can give your loved ones is to strictly adhere to the public health advice.”
