Is that still in the City West hotel?

Yes, they said they are using Citywest for self Isolation

40 cases at a factory shows how easily it spread in indoor settings.

Perhaps a mandatory 2 month shutdown of a factory where a large number of infections are discovered would focus the minds of the owners to maintain a safe workplace for their workers.

A fairly serious outbreak too, with work measures such as temperature checking etc you'd question how such an outbreak occurred in the first place.

Up to 40 cases from staff alone since last week then you've the contacts and direct provision centers on top of them.

All credit to the HSE, some serious ground work being undertaken by the sound of it

Half of the cases were asymptomatic yesterday.Temperature checking will just mitigate risk not eliminate it

Kildare has now overtaken Cork as the second highest number of cases. Cork has had less than 5 cases in the past week, Kildare has had almost 50.

Cheers. And what did the acting CMO say to that question.

Brushed it off by saying no decision made yet

I think they should be telling people where outbreaks and cases are occurring down town or locality.

It would help people in those areas to really ramp up their caution. Because people are getting lax.

they want people to be careful everywhere

Are they providing isolation facilities to the factory workers so they don't infect their household?

Should you not be asking the press conference that, maybe you should be a journalist.

There's only 26 cases in Kildare of the 85 though, in two clusters. One of them (factory) has ~ 40 cases in total. What you're saying doesn't add up.

Not all are reported as Kildare but multiple cases traced to the factory.

At least 2 direct provision centres in the Midlands for example linked to the kildare factory.

At least 40 staff so far positive so you can see how the likes of a direct provision Centre could be ravaged by this sort of outbreak when there's at least 2 involved

I'm surprised nobody has heard about the Kildare outbreak before today. Nobody leaked it at all.

Still been happening for around a week. Factory closed last Friday, outbreak team was in place before that and still nobody reported it.

264 cases in the last 14 days.
