Some individuals with coronavirus attended Blindboy Podcast in Clare

INDIVIDUALS, who tested positive for the coronavirus, were in attendance at a performance of the Blindboy Podcast in Clare last month.

The individuals attended the Podcast at the glór theatre in Ennis, on the night of February 29.

The HSE have subsequently been in touch with those audience members whom they have deemed may be impacted, and have advised on precautionary measures.

In a statement from glór, a spokesperson said:

“glór can confirm that there were individuals who subsequently tested positive for Covid 19 in attendance at a performance of the Blindboy Podcast which took place in the venue on Saturday 29 February at 8pm.

“In line with HSE protocol, glór made immediate contact with health authorities once we were made aware of the situation and shared all relevant information with them. The HSE have subsequently been in touch with those audience members whom they have deemed may be impacted, and have advised on precautionary measures.

The spokesperson stated that no action is required from those who have not already been contacted by the HSE.

“Operations at glór continue as normal after management sought advice from the HSE, additional hygiene measures and handwashing advice are in place at the arts centre, and we ask all our staff and customers to follow HSE guidelines on handwashing and respiratory etiquette. Further information is available on the HSE website.”

Blindboy confirmed to the Limerick Leader that he was not one of those told to isolate. "I wasn't considered close contact by any measure. I've to carry on as normal."

No, the HSE contacted a few people early last week and told them to self isolate, based on where they were sitting. I wasn't contacted by them, anyone who wasn't contacted, wasn't asked to self isolate because they weren't considered close contact with whoever it was.
