Thank you, have to admit I had hoped for a lesser number, not a serious number in the scale of life but it is going in a worrying direction

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, it’s an awful situation to be in and I am just thinking of all the people who have been in the same situation with family members in nursing homes in the past few months and all the different outcomes. I don’t know how bad it is yet or even the result of my family members test even though it has been almost a week since the first positive result came back. I also feel sorry for the staff who must be terrified at going in to work knowing that they might bring it home too. The home has done a very good job since the beginning but I am just unhappy with them this past week with being kept in the dark.

Two more. Getting fairly spread around Cork city now?

Seems to be pretty widespread in the city now.

My contacts have been very limited during the summer, but going to be extra cautious now.

I suppose the hope would be that the majority of our cases would be in some sort of confined setting where it can be controlled and the people taken care of, the concern with these school cases popping up all over the place is that the spread in the community is off and under way and there’s only one place we’re heading if that’s the case.

Fingers crossed we suppress this thing in Cork again.

It’s a school not a care choice. I’m just asking because the only mention of montenotte is a school.

Assuming that you had no prolonged, close contact with any people there, I'm sure you are both fine.
I am in no way convinced that people are picking this virus up from surfaces.

Try not to worry.

It's Penneys apparently

Fcek was in there but not long and masked up

It's hard to social distance 2m in there with baskets and buggies blocking sections

ACitizenErased

I'm also just after hearing that it's Tesco... unless it's both?

JP Liz V1

I assume the shopping centre and shops are still opened or closed for deep cleaning? Staff quarantining isolating?

Would they leave the shops open if an outbreak? We do our shopping there. Cant face washing everything after bringing home , so hoping it's Penneys

Likely yeah, if the other contacts come back negative there's no reason to close.

SleetAndSnow

That's very close to me. Time to be more careful for me anyway.

ACitizenErased

Everyone needs to calm down a little bit. We're living with it, this is going to happen now and will continue to happen.

An outbreak might just mean 2 staff? Hopefully theyve tested them all by now and that's the extent of it

Its all to do with risk assessment. Its sensible to be even more cautious now there are a number of known cases locally, as statistically chances of meeting someone with virus are increased.

Your chances of meeting someone in Cork with the virus remain miniscule. Our incidence remains incredibly low.

Still higher risk than a few months ago, albeit
still a small risk. I think things like this make us take stock and realized how much of a lotto this thing is and that we have to work to limit its growth. Its no harm to shake people up locally, theyve been acting for months like covid was history.

Definitely, the incidence might still be low but we've gone for weeks in Cork with just 2/3 cases, if any, a day and then yesterday we had 36....

We really need to take note of what's happening in Dublin and increase our efforts when it comes to handwashing, social distancing, masks.

Best not speculate until it's confirmed, shops are struggling enough (maybe not Tesco and Penneys but you get the idea) without rumours being spread about outbreaks occurring in them.

Jim Gazebo

For some reason I know a lot more people sent for tests the past week or two and lots more scares re close contacts. I'm not sure why but this didn't happen in march.
