However, a joint statement from public health bodies in the region states that the daily figures still don’t present a full picture, as close contacts aren’t being tested.
Director of Public Health Mid-West, Dr Mai Mannix, is warning against any shift in behaviour, saying the baseline of cases remains far too high to drop the guard.
