Number of Covid cases in Cork is 'mirroring' Dublin trajectory in recent weeks, CUH consultant warns

Dr Corinna Sadlier said the rise in confirmed cases of Covid-19 in County Cork is concerning. 

There is a ‘window of opportunity to push Covid-19 back’ in Cork where case numbers are “mirroring” the trajectory of viral spread observed in Dublin in recent weeks, a leading infectious disease consultant has said.

Dr Corinna Sadlier at Cork University Hospital was commenting on the rise in Covid-19 cases in County Cork, where 119 cases were detected over the past week alone compared to 47 cases in the previous two weeks.
