Reminder to give the Blue vests some space...


In September of 2020, Cork City Council launched the social distancing Blue Vest initiative. The blue vests allow people with an underlying condition or who had been cocooning to get out and about, while reminding others to respect the social distancing guidelines. 

Sandra O’Meara of Cork City Council’s Community Section said, "The Blue Vests initiative for Cork City came about as a creative response to people’s fears and anxieties about Covid-19 when out and about. The distinctive Blue Vests simply act as a reminder to passers-by to respect social distance. This makes all the difference for people with underlying illnesses or after a period of cocooning, who need their exercise but want to remain safe".

These blue vests were handed out in the following areas... Gurranabraher, Mayfield, Mahon,    Ballyphehane, Togher and Ballincollig.

Just a reminder that if you see someone wearing a blue vest while out running then be sure to give them the required 2-metres of space.
