The new term “Social distancing” is understood to be one of the number one examples of how to eliminate the spread of the deadly Coronavirus.
Today in Wicklow and throughout the country, top tourist areas were packed, with no regard for social distancing.
Heath Minister Simon Harris took to Twitter yesterday to say “My appeal going into this week-end is Please, Please, Please re-double your efforts in terms of the social distancing, and I am Tweeting and pushing out on Instagram, exactly what that looks like, roughly speaking it is two metres between you and other people.”

Clearly the message isn’t getting through. #StayAtHome to stop the spread of #COVID19. The front line in this is not the doctors, nurses, paramedics, or anyone else.IT’S YOU!
You decide who gets sick. Suck it up, stay at home, stay well.”
