We'll have to see what tomorrow is like for Cork. If we get another 60+ tomorrow, after the decrease today, you can assume it's increasing.

Fingers crossed! Great to see UCC take action, might make people realise there's repercussions for stupid carry on.

57 cases from one cafe cluster in Cork. I presume once these clusters are sorted the numbers will drop, hopefully

Ronan Glynn just said of a cluster in Cork from a number of people from different households met in a coffee shop and there’s now 57 cases known from it.

That the one on Model Farm Road maybe?

57 ? Jesus that’s mad from one meeting I’m a coffee shop.

That's why we're not level 3, one would assume. Clusters are trackable.

That's because of small populations. Not really possible to measure effectively per 100,000 when there's less than 100,000 in the majority of places.

It’s a bit like the way Vatican City has an average Pope density of 4 per sq km.

Anyone know why they didn’t name the cafe? Surely people who frequented the place would like to know?

If it isn't the cafe's fault then there's no need to name them

They would/should have contacted the people who needed to know.

I didn’t suggest it was their fault. Just that other customers, who were there, may like to know (be more wary if they have symptoms etc). It’s no worse than the speculation that will naturally occur.

Hopefully so. I’m assuming this played into not setting Cork to lvl 3. Good news (or as good as it can be).

Anyone who was there at the time would have signed in so would've been contacted

Sorry to hear that. Hope you will be OK.

I’m delighted there’s no level three for cork actually. But given that people seemed to want cork to go into level 3 I had resigned myself to the fact it would.

The sarcasm isn’t helpful btw.

But 57 cases traced back to it, schools with even one case are named

I do hope cases start to decrease more

I know of around 14 cases in Rostellan/Aghada in East Cork from neighbours meeting up, that would have drove up the Midleton numbers significantly.

Not in a government press release.

well we all know Bean Town was affected, they announced it on their social media. I've been in there a few times over the past 2 months getting takeaway coffee and I've never seen them taking contact numbers etc so patrons of the cafe were not being contacted. Has the practice of contact tracing stopped?

I totally agree, it also damages other innocent trade by making people wary of going in. Was due to meet someone for coffee today and they've cancelled as a result just in case it was the venue affected.

I also understand that naming could be extremely damaging to the place and they could have all safeguards in place so I'm. Not just looking at one side, but in balance I think it tips on knowing where this occurred.

What restaurant was this does anyone know?
I wonder was it a pub masquerading as a cafe/restaurant?

I can't imagine social distancing etc was practised with that amount of cases tbh.

Seems to be a cafe restaurant, difficult to tell how many got it there, if 3 people met there and got it it could be their contacts at home, traced back to is a vague term, if a member of staff had it, it could be 56 customers, there really isn't enough information in the statement.

Sure voodoo rooms / an brog were a cafe/restaurant at one stage when the pubs/clubs were shut and not even taking food orders off everyone who was "seated" according to two people who posted here.

I do know which one, but I haven't seen it reported so I'm not going to name it. Café/restaurant confused me when it was called out, but when I learned the rumoured establishment the description made total sense.

No, I'm not 12, but it's not confirmed, so I'm not calling it out. Surely you understand this?

I'm happy to come back and comment on it when/if the name is in the public domain.

Do they have a Facebook/ social media? Where they explained to customers why the place was closed?

You are absolutely correct in doing this.
