These outbreaks are as a result of high incidence in communities and a lot of indoor gatherings. These outbreaks then compound outbreaks in the community. Currently, Delta variant is not a factor, and all positives in Limerick are being sent for variant testing.
Active case finding ongoing, with high uptake in testing. Rathkeale pop-up clinic open until tomorrow, then it moves onto Kilmallock, and then Moyross. Follow @CommHealthMW for updates.
There is a strong community response (17,000+ tested in the past three or so weeks) which is incredible. The public is aware of what’s going on and what’s driving the increase in cases. An informed public is a protected one.
