ASTI President, Deirdre McDonald, says the announcement came as a surprise:
Meanwhile – there were 13 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country yesterday, with 1 case being de-notified, bringing the country’s total to 25,250.
There were no new cases confirmed here in Clare, leaving the total at 369.
