Sounds almost like they had an arranged meet-up at the venue.

Last night, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronan Glynn appealed for people to cut down on their number of social contacts after it was revealed that 57 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Cork have been linked to a cáfe-restaurant where a number of people from different households socialised - From Echo

I wouldn’t wish it on any business and I hope the business and their staff make a full recovery
I think as their seating was outside many may have been lured into a false sense of security
Also just to confirm that it is speculation there is nothing to say that it was this cafe that led to 50+ cases
There are plenty of other cafes/ restaurants that have had to close because of case
On the BeanTowns Facebook page they said that some of their staff tested positive, nothing about any customers so hopefully the spread was contained

Who said it's been closed?

If there was an outbreak they should have closed it like Thompson’s and sober lane did.

I’ve no idea if the cafe/ restaurant in question is the Bean Town but I agree with you I pass it often and the outside seating area has been packed with people over the past month (prior to it closing)
I would not have seen that as being necessarily careless as it was outdoors; though not something I would have been comfortable doing myself.

On their facebook ........... Sep 26th ......... "Hello to our neighbours, friends and customers. As many of you already know, we have been closed for the past week due to advice from the HSE. We have been delayed in putting up a message as we were awaiting more information. We would like to update everyone now. We have had several staff members test positive for the coronavirus. They are doing well and are recovering just fine. We are now taking the steps to improve our cafe & service so we may prevent this from happening again. We plan on reopening for Monday, October 5th. It's been quite a stressful week, but we have received a tremendous amount of support and goodwill, and we thank you for that! It really keeps us going. We look forward to seeing everyone soon and providing the best sandwiches & coffee in Cork City!"

It's places like that have us wondering what the future holds ........ from posts here it's clear they weren't acting responsibly. Patrons are also to blame IMO.

I'm happy to come back and comment on it when/if the name is in the public domain.

It's more, what's the point in telling us that you know, if you aren't going to divulge?
I agree, you shouldn't say where it is.

It's really too closely packed outside there. Also, you're right on top of a table when you're in the queue. In possibly unrelated news, St. Catherine's Primary School also had a case last week.

I've been to a few cafés, no details taken, but sat outside.

I've only been asked for details in pubs and restaurants.

Most cafes are operating as "uncontrolled environments" under the guidelines so are not required to take contact details. However, the quid pro quo of this is that all customers should be seated 2+ metres apart unless "close family or friends" - that includes 2m between tables as well.

Was in a cork city cafe last week for breakfast and coffee, no contact details taken either.

well we all know Bean Town was affected, they announced it on their social media. I've been in there a few times over the past 2 months getting takeaway coffee and I've never seen them taking contact numbers etc so patrons of the cafe were not being contacted. Has the practice of contact tracing stopped?

I was in Oliver Plunkett for breakfast no contact details taken, btw food not nice and expensive

Sure voodoo rooms / an brog were a cafe/restaurant at one stage when the pubs/clubs were shut and not even taking food orders off everyone who was "seated" according to two people who posted here.

Seems to be a cafe restaurant, difficult to tell how many got it there, if 3 people met there and got it it could be their contacts at home, traced back to is a vague term, if a member of staff had it, it could be 56 customers, there really isn't enough information in the statement.

I can't imagine social distancing etc was practised with that amount of cases tbh.

I didn’t suggest it was their fault. Just that other customers, who were there, may like to know (be more wary if they have symptoms etc). It’s no worse than the speculation that will naturally occur.

I totally agree, it also damages other innocent trade by making people wary of going in. Was due to meet someone for coffee today and they've cancelled as a result just in case it was the venue affected.

I also understand that naming could be extremely damaging to the place and they could have all safeguards in place so I'm. Not just looking at one side, but in balance I think it tips on knowing where this occurred.

Not in a government press release.

I know of around 14 cases in Rostellan/Aghada in East Cork from neighbours meeting up, that would have drove up the Midleton numbers significantly.

But 57 cases traced back to it, schools with even one case are named

I do hope cases start to decrease more

Sorry to hear that. Hope you will be OK.

I’m delighted there’s no level three for cork actually. But given that people seemed to want cork to go into level 3 I had resigned myself to the fact it would.

The sarcasm isn’t helpful btw.

Anyone who was there at the time would have signed in so would've been contacted
