Ireland is preparing to return to normal after one Closure It is the longest and toughest in Europe. Starting From May 10, you will be able to travel around the country, take advantage of personal services such as hairdressers, meet up to six do-it-yourself groups (three in one house if vaccinated at all), visit galleries, museums, cultural attractions, participate in a maximum of 15 people, and participate in non-essential services and shopping. Shops will be open for shopping from May 17, and hotels will reopen from June 2, with bars, restaurants (orthodore), gyms and swimming pools from the 7th.
Tao Sich (Head of Government, Michelle Martin) praised the people for adhering to the four-and-a-half-month restrictions, recalling how the government would monitor the situation after the restrictions were eased. The executive wants Accelerate immunization, which is disappointing compared to neighboring Northern Ireland. The goal is to give The first dose is 80% of the population, and by the end of June 55% of Irish immunity.
Currently only 10.25% of the population is fully vaccinated, while more than 1 million people and 300 thousand people receive at least one dose. It does not seem impossible to vaccinate about five million people. Small areas of the country should not complicate the task of the national health service. The vaccination program for Kovid-19 has undergone some changes, the most important of which is the choice to move forward with age and to make vaccines more effective. The possibility of pre-vaccination of young people seems to have been avoided, as they now represent three-quarters of the positive cases and cause the virus to spread. Although the months of May and June depend heavily on vaccine deliveries, the new vaccination plan should not significantly affect the timing of young people.
The great pace of the Northern Irish vaccination program has had paradoxical repercussions and has forced hundreds of citizens of the Republic of Ireland across the border to book vaccinations for Kovid-19. In March, the number of people receiving the first dose in Northern Ireland was over 687,000, which is proportional to the population, equivalent to 1.8 million people south of the border, however, the number of first doses was only a few. 492 over a thousand. Irish citizens were advised not to book vaccinations in Northern Ireland except for exceptions related to the presence of their health care doctor on site.
Raised by Foreign Minister Simon Cowney a few weeks ago, the UK is unlikely to provide additional vaccines to Ireland, as London is still busy vaccinating its own population, which will have to pass some time anyway.
The current Irish epidemiological situation is comforting. The moving average of new infections recorded in the last seven days is 400 to 450 cases per day, not to exceed 600 since the beginning of March. 117 patients were hospitalized due to Kovid-19. Of these, 34 are in intensive care wards. Fourteen daysThis is equivalent to 124 cases per 1,000 inhabitants, 276 in Germany, 565 in the Netherlands and 249 in Italy.
Ireland was subject to a longer and harsher lockdown than any other country in the world, and its economic operations were closed until 2021. The Republic handled two wave infections, with fewer cases and deaths, but the virus had returned to growth shortly before Christmas with deregulation. According to figures from the University of Oxford, the country had the highest per capita infection in early January, and at the end of December the government adopted a third national lockdown due to the presence of the English variant. .
