35 are men / 10 are women

77% are under 45 years of age

31 are associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case

4 cases have been identified as community transmission

33 cases are located in Kildare, 7 in Dublin, and 5 are spread across 4 other counties.

Malta to be removed from travel Green List

I thought Malta's numbers were good?

Malta had an unusual one day spike where at a guess I'd say they posted backdated cases maybe, 94 cases, when their 7 day avg at their peak was 22.

It must have fallen outside a threshold of cases per 100k maybe? They've had 9 deaths total.

Malta will be among a number of countries removed from the Green List of places deemed safe for travel without quarantine. A significant spike in cases in Malta has raised concerns about allowing people travel to the region without requiring them to self-isolate for two weeks on their return.

I see they didn't add any countries to the Green List though

Surely at least one country's numbers have improved to make it onto it

I know it gets asked nearly every day but 31 can be directly traced and 4 are community transmission, so what is the remainder? Health care workers?

Is there any talk of increased controls at borders? They really need to stop dragging their heels on that.

While I agree that it is important and they've been very wishy washy on it, I think it's not as big an issue as it is made out to be at times. I think in the last fortnight the amount of cases we've had related to travel has been just over 2% of the total number of reported cases. The real problem is still cases in the country.

I think it's about time people opened their eyes a little bit, all across Europe things are trending in the wrong direction and even away from the clusters in factories, we've been trending the wrong way for weeks.

Pubs are in no way necessary for the functioning in a society long term. For people who are alcohol dependent (an actual medical condition), alcohol is still readily available in any shop or supermarket. Everyone else can meet friends in parks, gardens or even in houses if necessary. People complain about house parties but the percentage of the population engaging in these is absolutely miniscule compared to the amount that will pile back into pubs. In addition, the tracing scenario from a house party is very straight forward, chances are everyone knows each other anyway making it very easy to trace everyone present.

We have to depend on publicans keeping records of everyone present, something that's been fairly lacklustre (from my experience) in the "restaurant" sector that has re-opened.

Pub crawls will also be extremely prevalent, a perhaps unintended but entirely predictable consequence of limiting time in pubs. Apart from a few groups bending the rules I doubt there's many groups who have a massive desire to spend 10-15 euro on food in multiple venues but remove that aspect and it's nearly guaranteed. So one asymptomatic spreader could end up in five poorly ventilated sweatboxes where contact tracing details may or may not be taken (likely not).

The perpetually outraged will come out and say that it will be the final nail in the coffin of some pubs but the government and NPHET already know this. As others have said in the wider interest of public health it's unfortunately something that can't be avoided.

Can't argue with much of this, but please stop with the talk of the older generation meeting in the park or a garden. People really can't be that out of touch with the real world.

Either let all pubs open or keep close, is there a difference really in food pubs or not foods pubs, I predict riots

People can have as much alcohol as they want (and for less money) as things stand. What people are missing is the social aspect of the pub.

Well done Roscommon. Clare, Kerry, Sligo got to 30 days before them.

The 94 cases was a ship load of immigrants that were rescued travelling from Africa

Why is no attention being paid to the number of children testing positive in the media?

It would be interesting to see what percentage on average fall into this category.

Well sure. I was merely pointing out what people missed about pubs. I wasn't advocating one way or the other re the opening of pubs.
