Dr Tony Holohan has signalled he would not have a “major concern” if Electric Picnic went ahead with only fully vaccinated people allowed to attend.
When asked whether outdoor events such as Electric Picnic could be permitted for those who are fully vaccinated, Dr Holohan said “we wouldn’t have a major concern to express in public health terms about that if that could be achieved.” “But the risks of a vaccinated person transmitting the disease and it being picked up by another vaccinated person, although they exist, are very, very small.
Gardaí had to shut pubs temporarily in the interest of public safety as hundreds of Limerick and Cork fans packed the streets before and after the game. He would not be drawn on whether he would be advising unvaccinated people not to go to a nightclub when the Government reopens the sector. Prof Philip Nolan said although the vaccination programme is providing a high level of protection “we are not there yet.”
