Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Tony Holohan, reminded people of all the actions they could take to limit the spread of Covid-19 in our communities.
“No single intervention is perfect at preventing the spread of COVID-19, it takes many different individual actions to slow down the spread of the disease.
"Every action you take is another layer of protection between you and the virus - the more layers you have the more protection you have.”
“Public health measures are based on this principle. Keep physical distance from others, wash hands regularly, avoid crowds, wear face coverings and vaccines all provide you with layers of defence against COVID-19.”
