Covid-19 Public Information Booklet To Be Delivered To Residents Across County Wicklow

It will explain the services in place to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Health Minister Wicklow TD Simon Harris and An Post have launched the initiative at a government press conference.

The Taoiseach no longer thinks there will be 15 thousand confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Ireland by the end of the month.

Leo Varadkar made the prediction less than 10 days ago.

There are currently 1,329 cases here resulting in seven deaths.

The Taoiseach says the estimate was based on a 30 per cent daily increase.
