Mr Martin said : “In places like Cork City, cases have been going up in a straight line in the past two weeks," said Mr Martin. "That is a worry — between 20 and 30 cases a day. Likewise in other city areas. Those are danger areas right now". But Cork "is coming from a low base", he said, and there is still "an opportunity" to reverse the trend. The National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) may advise the Government to bring in localised lockdowns in cities like Cork, leaving the wider county to operate more freely if infection rates remain lower there. "They [NPHET] are concerned about urban centres,”
