Clare County Council and An Garda Síochána are appealing to people in Clare to hold firm and keep up their efforts to reduce the spread of Covid-19.
With case numbers still high and the health service under significant pressure, the Mayor of Clare, Cllr Mary Howard, Chief Executive of the Council Pat Dowling and Chief Superintendent of Clare Garda Division Sean Colleran have called on everyone in the county to make another extra effort to drive down the levels of infection in our communities.
The National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) has described the situation in hospitals as stark, with people of all ages being admitted to hospital and being taken into intensive care units.
