What? Why would that even happen. Can you provide a source?

It fits in with the, "blame others narrative".

"We're doing so well in Cork, well done us!"

-Numbers are actually rising in Cork

"Oh, well, it must be outsiders causing it!"

He's the only one I've seen say something like that, and there's always a few everywhere. The other replies to the increases have been of concern

Tbf Cork is doing very well considering the size of our county but the numbers are increasing slightly and we just need to be weary of that and try our best to not become Dublin V2!

A friend was tested last Thursday evening and didn't get results till Monday afternoon but that seems longer than normal. Could just be that they're testing a lot more people now so the wait is longer as they can only process so many at a time.

I know five people in Cork who got tests on Thur the week before last, two tests came back on Fri & the remaining three on Sat. All negative thankfully.

My sister was tested and had the results in just over 24 hours (maybe 26-27 hours later). Granted, this was Galway.

Apparently 48 hours is supposedly the time frame but some are longer

Thanks all, my brother is getting tested and we have to restrict movements, so was just wondering how long it took roughly.

There is 100% a young person in critical care in the Mercy, either way

A total of 106 people with suspected Covid-19 were being treated at hospitals around the country, including seven people at the Mercy University Hospital and one person at Cork University Hospital.

Fourteen people with confirmed Covid-19 were being treated at critical care units around Ireland including one person who was being cared for at the Mercy University Hospital.

Friendly reminder Cork requires 20 cases a day for 14 days straight to even remotely consider becoming concerned about per capita infection rates

No harm to be careful, all it takes is to meet one careless langer, or one of the unlucky ones who also met them.

Friendly reminder of that is fine, but numbers definitely upticking. From 0 a day last few weeks to consistently 6 or 7 a day now. Let's hope it stabilises there and doesn't start getting out of hand.

Keep taking all precautions.

A Cork GP says there has not been a disproportionate rise in cases of Covid-19 since children returned to school earlier this month.

Speaking to the Echo, Dr Mary Favier, Covid-19 advisor to the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) said that while cases of Covid-19 have been reported among children in recent weeks, that this is “in no different rate to the general population”.

Dont rem that. Surely someone would have noticed let's say daily figures jumping from 4 to 200+ . Was it reported on this thread? Must look back over it.

igCorcaigh

14 in Cork is quite the jump.

SleetAndSnow

Of 253 cases today, 14 in Cork. Highest in a while.
