NEW RESTRICTIONS AIMED at curbing the spread of Covid-19 in Donegal have kicked in.
The county has been upgraded to Level 3 of the Covid-19 scale, following a decision by the government and the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET).
The restrictions have been in place from midnight and will last for three weeks.
Under Level 3, people are being asked to stay in the county and only leave for essential purposes.
People are also asked to only have visitors from one other household in their home or garden, and to work from home unless absolutely necessary.
Indoor dining in pubs and restaurants is not be allowed, with only outdoor dining permitted to a maximum of 15 people.
However, unlike Dublin (which is also on Level 3), ‘wet’ pubs can remain open but with the same limit of a maximum of 15 people outdoors only.
The government is also allowing weddings in Donegal this weekend to proceed as originally planned with a limit of 50 guests. From Monday weddings can have a maximum of 25 guests only.
Organised indoor events and matches/events (with some exceptions) should also not take place, while museums and galleries are required to close.
It is hoped that increasing restrictions will stabilise the growth rate of Covid-19 in the county and eventually see it reduce to an extent that restrictions can be loosened again.
Data published by the Health Protection and Surveillance Centre (HPSC) in recent days shows that Donegal’s 14-day Covid-19 incidence rate is now the highest in the country.
Outbreaks are particularly bad in the Lifford and Stranorlar areas, acting chief medical officer Dr Ronan Glynn said at a press conference on Thursday.

Big hard man Damien O’Sullivan giving pelters to women who have achieved more in their lives than he ever will. Damien, you are a troll on the Internet and these woman are representing their country. They stand head and shoulders above people like you. Let that sink in.
@Sun Rise: As ever you are brave behind your keyboard and fake name. The fact you call people trolls while trolling the internet behind tells a lot about the person behind the account.
@Ger Whelan: you are a vicious piece of work. He is defending the womens team show respect boy.
@Sean Money: was it Putin’s fault the girls didn’t win all their games?
@Ger Whelan: you are a sick puppy. Be happy Ireland won.
@Sean Money: Erm they didn’t win . They finished bottom of their group with 1 win out of 5 games. Hardly worth celebrating
@Sun Rise: I reported you just now.
Hopefully the last comment you’ll ever make on this.
I repeat. The current team is useless they were much better under Vera. Constructive criticism, not some misogynistic agenda you’re pushing.
Suck on that.
@Sun Rise: God help the team if they have likes of you ‘looking out’ for them.
