To outline the situation in Ireland with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Analyse the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland. Review the key public health and health system responses.
Over 1700 people have died with COVID-19 by July 19th while almost 3000 people had been admitted to hospital with COVID-19. A high proportion of the deaths occurred in nursing homes and other residential centres who did not receive sufficient attention during the early phase of the pandemic.
Ireland's response to the COVID-19 crisis has been comprehensive and timely. Transparency, a commitment to a relatively open data policy, the use of traditional and social media to inform the population, and the frequency of updates from the Department of Health and the Health Services Executive are all commendable and have led to a high level of compliance among the general public with the various non-medical measures introduced by the government.
概述爱尔兰在新冠疫情方面的情况。
分析爱尔兰新冠疫情的发展情况。回顾关键的公共卫生和卫生系统应对措施。
截至7月19日,超过1700人死于新冠病毒,近3000人因新冠病毒入院治疗。很大一部分死亡发生在养老院和其他住宿中心,这些地方在疫情早期没有得到足够关注。
爱尔兰对新冠危机的应对全面且及时。透明度、对相对开放的数据政策的承诺、利用传统媒体和社交媒体向民众通报情况,以及卫生部和卫生服务执行局的更新频率,都值得称赞,并导致公众对政府出台的各种非医疗措施的高度遵守。
