A Kilkenny GP is warning of a worrying rise in the ‘R-number’ as Covid restrictions ease.
The reproductive number is a measure of a disease’s ability to spread.
Dr Tadhg Crowley is with Ayrefield Medical Centre.
He says locals need to follow health guidelines to keep the R number down – especially as more people return to work and sport etc. He advises wearing a mask when shopping and being strict with the health guidelines or else we will be reverting back to more restrictions.
