DONEGAL has been placed on
level 3 of the Government’s Plan for Living with
Covid-19 from last Friday, September 25th, for a period
of three weeks. People in Inishowen have been asked to
adhere to these increased public health measures and
gardaí in the county have recommenced Operation Fanacht
which is focused on supporting public compliance with
these restrictions. |
|
Operation Fanacht will see
a high level of visibility of gardaí in Inishowen to
support the public health guidelines, particularly in
relation to social distancing and gathering in large
groups at amenities. Targeted Garda
checkpoints will be established throughout the county
and the public are being encouraged not to travel out off or into
Donegal unless absolutely necessary. |
Gardaí will also continue
to work in co-operation with the Police Service of
Northern Ireland to support public health efforts to
reduce the spread of Covid-19 on the island of Ireland
through rolling cross-border checkpoints in relevant
locations.
The Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Cllr Rena
Donaghey along with the Mayor of Derry City and Strabane
District Council Cllr Brian Tierney are pleading with
people in both areas to adhere to the new guidelines
introduced by the respective governments, saying we must
do everything we can to prevent the further spread of
the virus.
Basic ways to protect yourself:
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use
an alcohol-based hand rub
• Practice good respiratory hygiene, that is, when
coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with
flexed elbow or tissue
• Discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean
your hands
• Maintain physical distancing, that is, leave at least
2 metres (6 feet) distance between yourself and other
people
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth – if you
touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated
hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to
yourself
• Reduce your social interactions |
