There were 2 suspected cases last week. I don't think they were positive.

Knowing how "fast" the tests come back...it's probably the same 2 cases

County data is 48 hours behind the daily numbers, so would be Friday before it shows up in reports.

There's nothing so far on the RTE summaries here.

I saw someone say on facebook that they are from Dublin and came down to a holiday home. I don't know how true that is, but its likely. And very selfish of them to even come here if it is true.

Was chatting to someone who's other half works in the general and they said they are apparently from Kerry but has returned from somewhere. They were unsure of where tho

Look all we can do is take every precaution that we know of to prevent getting it ourselves, what other people do and what the government allow is out of our control.

Stay safe everyone.

Unlikely. Most travel from Dublin are Dublin based rural folk that have been heading up and down to their folks house with kids since the 2k limit was here. They've ID that connects them with their parents home and there's no trouble getting back in to the capital.

One of our neighbours (teacher from Kerry) has been down to Kerry six times to stay with her folks since lockdown with the kids! My grandparents are 4k away and haven't got to hold their new granddaughter yet!

One rule for some...

Rambo, I can tell you without fear of contradiction that there has been a glut of people from Dublin and also from Cork that have no connection with Kerry other than the fact they built or purchased holiday homes here that have been visiting and staying here during the lock down.

Some of these people who do or say such things have contradictory banners on their Facebook profile photo saying "support frontline workers" even when they themselves are doing exactly what NPHET asked them not to do to contain the virus.

Im based in Dublin and haven't seen my elderly parents or family in Kerry since February and it's tough but I'll endure the sacrifice so as to comply whatever way to contain and suppress the virus until we are allowed to travel from Jun 29th. I've seen a lot of amazing generosity and selflessness during this pandemic....but I've also seen a lot of selfishness as well...often from people I wouldn't have expected it from...true colours do emerge in these extraordinary times!

Couple from the US just flew in from Georgia last week to their holiday home on the Dingle Peninsula. Claimed to have done all the airport paperwork and checked in with the guards. Were told to stay at their home except for exercise and essential shopping for 2 weeks.

That lasted about a day. They're all over the place. Were getting away from the protests in the US, went through airports on both sides, etc.

This is where new infections will come from, and I'm sure they're just the first of many.

I wish I'd known better before I created this account. I'd change it if there were a way to retain the post-count, history, etc.

Brother was working in Kenmare yesterday. Bumped into a fella we know who is home from England. He had holidays and decided to come home anyway. He currently has Coronavirus, diagnosed about a week ago and "over the worst" and doesnt care one bit. Is going about his life completely as normal so no telling what way he will spread it around. Brother gave him a wide berth after that, made his excuses and got away from him

It's scary to think there are people with this level of intelligence who are allowed enter our country without hindrance.

That's a shame, do you know all of these holiday homes and did you report them?

Can't blame you if you didn't. I live beside a beauty spot in Dublin and we had a lot of people travelling over the 2k and 5k limit. I didn't have the heart to report them. I assumed they live in apartments. and needed the fresh air and space.

Don't forget a good few elders have adult frontline kids living with them and decided to cocoon in the holiday home. Safest option.

Yeah, this confirms my experience of people leaving urban areas & visiting rural areas during lockdown. Returnees visiting home from the urban areas, mostly teachers. Lots living in my area. Your brother showed lots of patience making excuses and avoiding him, most would have given him a bollicking.

My brother has asthma but is an essential worker so just got away from him when he dropped that into conversation. I did look up to see if he could be reported as we know his name and address obviously but nothing like that came up. He should be isolating at the very least but didnt seem bothered about it at all, extremely frustrating for me especially since I haven't been home since February

It's always after these meetings you walk away in a bit of a haze and say "why the fook didn't I say something clever that would have levelled him???"... And then think of all the clever things you could have said.

The things I've seen during this pandemic are unbelievable, particularly when stepping out of my peer group who'd be like minded and clued in like you lot.

Not a lot of malice or ill intent, just sheer stupidity, sometimes fear and mostly blatant ignorance. Thankfully it's easy to avoid the repercussions of these people due to distancing, good protection, hand hygiene and common sense touch practices.

Without seeming snobbish or elitist these people won't be leaving where they live to visit Kerry. They don't really leave their environment anyway. You know what I'm talking about.

Must be very mild cases in UHK - one of the two has already recovered, according to this morning's HSE daily update.

I guess the worry I would have is how many people did they come into contact with before they went to hospital!? Hopefully it isn't spreading around again.

Good to hear one has recovered though.

Was told this morning that there are in fact three new cases in Kerry although I have no way of proving or disproving that information but the source seems reliable.

EDIT Confirmed from a different source Ballybunion.

An Ciarraioch

County dashboard has just updated for today, so must be tomorrow before the new cases will enter the system.

An Ciarraioch

This appears to be new - confirmed cases by electoral division, so will tell you the number of cases for Fenit, Blennerville, Ardfert etc individually, but Tralee only given as Urban and Rural:

One of the cases may be a reinfection

So would Tralee urban be the town itself? if so then it looks like only 18 cases in Tralee urban. What would they consider Tralee urban as if Fenit, Blennerville, Ardfert are individual?

It's interesting to see that even though a glut of Cork and Dublin folk arrived and stayed in holiday homes in Kerry the county managed to maintain one of the lowest & admirable rates of infection. If there's a second wave maybe, based on this valuable information, people will be encouraged to move to their more isolated holiday homes to cocoon and ease services, shop congestion & infection in the cities.

It would be the old Tralee Urban division so literally only as far as the Grotto to the East.

PS I found a map - just enlarge it.

Dashboard refreshed for today - only one new case officially recorded for Kerry, so maybe the other one was declassified.

An Ciarraioch

Second case has shown up in today's stats, so hopefully that'll be it for now, although there are three "suspected cases" in UHK.

An Ciarraioch

And now no longer any confirmed cases in UHK, still two suspect, but tonight's total will remain at 310, at least.

An Ciarraioch

No cases of any description now in UHK, so back to where we were on Tuesday night.

Ciarrai76

I see people commenting on facebook saying those 2 cases added on two separate days were totally new cases, and that the others were transferred to another county so on their list. Is this true or are they getting confused? I understood it as they were just 2 cases, yet added later.

An Ciarraioch

It would be very odd if two cases, that were due to be added to our total within 48 hours, suddenly migrated to Cork or Limerick, while two random undetected cases appeared, so seems almost impossible.

That's what I thought. I don't know where people get their information from!

amdaley28

All I know is that the Kerry total is now 310 which is two up from a few days ago.
Of course that could be wrong ?

Those, presumably, are the two cases from Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

No sign of that positive case being reported yet?
