Fears of a lockdown extension continue to grow as doubts are raised over Ireland's coronavirus testing capabilities.While the Irish Independent reports that lockdown restrictions will only be lifted very slightly, if at all, when the Government reviews them on May 5.
A total of 100,000 tests a week are expected to be reached by the third week in May, Mr Reid said, following agreement with the department on the road map and alignment of case definitions. The findings are from phase two of the Corona Citizens’ Science Study, a population-wide survey conducted by research teams at NUI Galway and Dublin City University looking at the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated restrictive measures on daily life in Ireland.
