The HSE has issued a bank holiday message asking the public to protect Kerry’s progress in reducing the incidence of COVID-19 this weekend.
Kerry has one of the lowest 14-day incidence rates of the virus in the country.
The acting Director of Public Health in the HSE South, Dr Anne Sheahan, said she understands that bank holidays are a time to meet up with friends and family, but she reminded people that when it comes to COVID-19, it’s always safer to be outdoors.
She warned that all indoor interactions still carry risks, and the more people involved the greater the risk.
She also reminded people if they were meeting another household outdoors to keep a two-metre distance.
Dr Sheahan said Kerry is doing very well in reducing the incidence of the virus and she appealed to the public to keep up the hard work.
She said she is hopeful that we will be able to enjoy more time with friends and family this summer.
