  1. I remember a few weeks ago talking to a principal who said they didn’t think schools would close because of a government decision, but there’ll reach a point where so many are out sick or close contacts that they’ll have no choice but to close for a bit anyway.

  2. I wonder will they just do what they did in the previous waves which is tell the staff that they aren’t a close contact and don’t need to be tested…

    I know of a nurse who dealt with covid positive patients for the last 18 months. They barely got tested, as the hospital kept coming up with reasons why she wasn’t a close contact

  3. >However, Dr Holohan said he could not rule out any further restrictions and will keep monitoring the situation closely over the coming weeks. He told the Taoiseach he was happy to be quoted.

    Who’s in charge here, fuck me!
