No it's all schools.
And all meetings indoors over 100 people are not recommended and the same with gatherings over 500 people outdoors.

My news was old. I removed it not to cause confusion.

Finally a sensible decision.

It's going to be hard to keep businesses going and shops open and food on the shelves when a considerable % of the population will have to stay at home to mind the kids.

You won't be wearing them for milking now so?
Gloves are essential for anyone dealing with the public and to :rolleyes:protect themselves. And especially where food is involved.
Bacteria and viruses will live in the cracks in your skin which won't be on a glove. If you're washing your hands it's recommended that take two minutes with a scrub brush. I doubt many do that over the splash and dash.

I was only saying what I was told . Apologies :rolleyes: people working with food always wore gloves and will continue to do so. The gloves will retain the bacteria if you are wearing them. Dont shoot the messenger.

You need a medical form completed and signed by your doctor to renew every 5 years. A good idea, imo.

I got the cert, and renewed the licence. (Cert cost the same as the licence fee)
So now I have to renew my 10 year licence every 5 years, to keep my truck licence categories?

Couple of medical people in the family. The 20 sec washing the hands is adequate. It's doing it often is the trick.

Ah it's not you're first time being shot.

There's plenty of misinformation going around I thought you were being vicious with the power city workers knowledge of cleanliness. I thought it was a jibe from you and you knew your own knowledge.

It's the same as milking a spray of disinfectant on a glove is better than on the hand.
If not, surgeons wouldn't wear them.

Tear into those Power city yokes the next time you see them..

My mother just passed LIDL here outside Ennis and she said there were cars out to the road waiting to get in to the car park. Pure madness!

The thing is surgeons are highly trained highly focused people.

It’s common to see deli staff using gloves to prepare food and then using gloves hands to use the till.

One local take away to us I regularly see a staff member standing outside the side door, smoking with his gloves still on.

Gloves convey a false sense of security in situations when proper hand hygiene would be a much more effective course to take.

One of the women in our office just got a call from a friend who is shopping in Aldi, Cavan.
She got the very last trolley available, every single one is within the store, panic buying

Your looking at it from the customer side.
And everything you post is true.


But and it's a big but if i was working on a till and dealing with hundreds every day taking money and cards and handling goods to and fro and I had elderly people whom I'd be meeting after work then I'd feel safer with gloves on.
It mightnt be much but it's the same as milking with gloves. You take them off and you're guaranteed there's no dirt and grime and teat spray engrained into your hands when you take them off.
You take off your gloves after the till and your guarrenteed there's no stuff from interaction on your hands after.
It might be all over your clothes and face but it won't be on your hands. :pac:

No. Good friend though.

Gloves are of no benefit really. Wash yer hands often. Change the gloves if yer wearing them as often. Don't touch your face. That is very hard. At least I find it is anyway. Get little itches and it's automatic to scratch.

Was told to go to Dunnes to get nappies a while ago cos apparently we're out. Drove down, it was unreal. The car park packed. No trolleys available. Went in and it's flat out. Every till open, every till with 3 or 4 queuing, every trolley over flowing. Super Valu didn't seem to be as mad on the way past.

Best of luck to everyone through this.

I'm not sure how it works in the NDLS with respect to cost. There might be a lesser charge in this scenario. It has to be done though.
