Just two weeks into the Level 5 restrictions, Kovid-19 rates fell nationwide.
Speaking RTE Radio 1Professor Nolan said: “It is wrong to suggest that this is the result of Level 3 measures.
We have a lot of information from Dublin, Donegal and the country that Level 3 measures stabilize the disease and stop it from growing. But they are not diminishing.
“What happened here is that in a week or ten days before the Level 5 presentation, people voluntarily cut off their own social connections and realized what was coming, I think.
Professor Nolan said the impact of Level 5 is now beginning to show – and has finally subsided Dublin.
Capital rates are falling
The professor explained: “We are beginning to see the real impact of the Level 3 restrictions, again and again on the additional impact of Level 5 on the voluntary behavior of people, which is one of the notable things about where we are now.
“Dublin has been under Level 3 or strict control since early September, yet the case numbers in Dublin are higher than at that time.
“They are declining now, which is really good news, and it is not uncommon for a capital city to explode.
“It is clear to us that there is a direct and obvious link between the level of social contact and the nature of the virus.
“People do what they have to do, that’s the main message.”
