Is féidir a n‑úsáid i spásanna poiblí dúnta, lena n‑áirítear iompar poiblí, a bheith ina chéad rogha chun tarchur pobail a theorannú.
Their use in closed public spaces, including public transport, can be a first option to limit community transmission.
An 1 Feabhra 2021, ghlac an Chomhairle Moladh (AE) 2021/119 lena leasaítear Moladh (AE) 2020/1475 i bhfianaise leibhéal an-ard tarchuir chomhphobail ar fud an Aontais, tarchur a d’fhéadfadh a bheith nasctha le hin-tarchurthacht mhéadaithe na n-athraitheach nua SARS-CoV-2 ar díol imní iad.
On 1 February 2021, the Council adopted Recommendation (EU) 2021/119 amending Recommendation (EU) 2020/1475 in view of a very high level of community transmission across the Union, possibly linked to the increased transmissibility of the new SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.
Go luath in 2022, tháinig méadú mór ar líon ionfhabhtuithe COVID-19 mar thoradh ar athraitheach SARS-CoV-2 ar díol imní é darb ainm “Omicron”, athraitheach atá ag teacht in ionad Delta go gasta agus atá ag sroicheadh déine nach bhfacthas a leithéid riamh roimhe seo maidir le tras-seoladh pobail ar fud an Aontais.
In early 2022, the SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern ‘Omicron’ caused sharp increases in the number of COVID-19 infections, rapidly replacing Delta and reaching an unprecedented intensity of community transmission across the Union.
Thairis sin, i bhfianaise leibhéil an-ard tras-seolta pobail, rud a fhágann go bhfuil go leor daoine tinn ag an am céanna, is dócha go mbeidh brú suntasach ar chórais cúraim sláinte agus ar fheidhmiú na sochaí ina hiomláine sna Ballstáit ar feadh tréimhse áirithe, go príomha trí neamhláithreacht ón obair agus ón oideachas.
Furthermore, given the very high levels of community transmission, leading to many people being ill at the same time, Member States are likely to undergo a period of substantial pressure on their healthcare systems and on the functioning of the society as a whole, mainly through absence from work and education.
