Statement from the National Public Health Emergency Team
— Department of Health (@roinnslainte) November 2, 2020
The @hpscireland has today been notified of 2 additional deaths related to #COVID19.
There has been a total of 1,917 #COVID19 related deaths in Ireland.
The state's Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, is hopeful that we will start to see the benefits of Level 5 restrictions in Dublin this week:
"We've had level three in Dublin for four weeks and it hasn't had an appreciative effect in slowing the infection the way that we'd like.
"So I'd like to think that over the course of next week, that we might begin to se a fuller effect of all of phase five.
"Not just the anticipatory behaviour we know we've seen across the population but all the measures that were mandated by government having their full effect."
The national incidence rate of the virus per 100,000 people is now 248.
As of 2pm today 322 COVID-19 patients are hospitalised, of which 44 are in ICU. 16 additional hospitalisations in the past 24 hours.
