Xinhua News Agency /French Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 6 (Reporter Guo Qian) The Irish government decided on the 5th not to adopt the second "lockdown" proposal by health officials, but will increase the level of national epidemic prevention measures.
Ireland reported 613 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the 3rd, the highest since the end of April and the third highest on record. The country's national public health emergency team proposed a proposal to "lock down" the city for another four weeks on the evening of the 4th.
24 of the 26 county-level administrative regions in Ireland implement level 2 epidemic prevention measures, and the capital Dublin and the northwestern county Donegal implement level 3 measures. The emergency team of
recommends that all restrictive measures in the country be upgraded to the highest level 5. People should stay at home and exercise within 5 kilometers of the residence, and only necessary retail stores can be opened. This is similar to the seven-week "lockdown" measure that Ireland began in March.
The above suggestions are opposed by political and business circles. After discussion on the 5th, the Irish Cabinet said that it was decided not to adopt the recommendations of the National Public Health Emergency Team for "broader considerations", but level 3 restrictive measures will be implemented nationwide from the 6th.

Xinhua News Agency issued Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin said that re-implementing stricter measures is not necessary for some industries and may also cause some companies to never recover. "This is related to protecting life and livelihoods... If we act now, we can avoid introducing restrictive measures at Level 4 and Level 5."
Under Level 3 measures, all restaurant indoor areas are not open, and the outdoor areas of the tavern can receive a limited number of customers. In addition, residents should stay in the county where they live, and indoor activities will be cancelled. Dublin's epidemic prevention measures are more stringent, and stores that only serve alcoholic beverages are not allowed to resume business.
Martin urges the people to abide by epidemic prevention regulations. In his TV speech, he said: "The recent epidemic trends in most parts of the country are worrying. We must stop these trends, otherwise there will be serious consequences... What will happen next is in our own hands."
