“Keep fighting hard against Covid-19 virus”
An Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin has confirmed that the reopening of pubs, hotel bars and nightclubs will not go ahead on August 10th, as had been planned on their original Covid-19 virus roadmap.
In relation to face coverings, An Taoiseach stated such would be mandatory in all retail settings around the Irish Republic, with effect from Monday August 10th, 2020.
An Tánaiste Mr Leo Varadkar said the Covid-19 pandemic is currently spreading around the world with the number of new cases rising again in Europe. He further confirmed that Ireland remained in a relatively good place and the present Government want to keep it that way and not risk the reopening of schools at the end of this month.
Pubs serving food, and all restaurants will now also have to close by 11:00pm, with staff being allowed to stay-on to undertake any required clean up, but can stay open for takeaway and delivery trading.
This evening, the Department of Health has confirmed that there have been zero new deaths caused by this pandemic, leaving the overall death toll here in the Republic of Ireland remaining at 1,763.
However, there were 50 new additional cases reported to the Department of Health, leaving the current total number of confirmed cases, since conception, now at 26,303

All batches of Gold River Quality Mixed Salad Leaves (Seasonal Salad Box) are being withdrawn by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) from sale as a precaution, due to the possible presence of Cryptosporidium.
Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite which causes cryptosporidiosis, a common form of gastroenteritis. Watery diarrhoea is the most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis, which can be particularly serious for young children, older people, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
Batches of CO OP Sliced Curly Kale, were also withdrawn today, due to possible contamination with thistle (a spiky weed).
Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores suppling both implicated batches.

Cystic fibrosis sufferers (CF) here in Tipperary and indeed across the Republic of Ireland, from today can obtain a grant of 100 euros per applicant, to purchase necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
While sufferers of Cystic fibrosis are well used to observing regular and proper hand-washing, cough etiquette and social distancing, research has highlighted the need for PPE as a particular issue for those effected.
As most of our readers are aware; Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, resulting in the body producing a thick, sticky mucus which can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas. Cystic fibrosis (CF) can be life-threatening, and people with the condition tend to have a shorter-than-normal life span.
People with cystic fibrosis, (or in the case of minors,) their guardians can now apply online today for this PPE grant HERE.
