CORONAVIRUS.
With the Chief Medical Officer not recommending an easing of restriction given the current number of Covid 19 cases, Government and HSE restrictions must still be adhered to in the interest of safety. Only very essential journeys should be made. An Garda Siochana have been present in the area and stopping motorists. We must continue to maintain the appropriate distance from each other as well as keeping within a short distance of our homes whether we are shopping or exercising. Again praise to our local shops and businesses who are doing their utmost to keep us stocked up with essential provisions. Please spare a thought for those at the front line of the current pandemic, particularly all medical staff.
