Coronavirus: Police urge residents to stay away from beauty spots
Police officers have urged members of the public to avoid travelling to local beauty spots after people gathered at the Cave Hill Country Park over the weekend.
Commenting on social media yesterday, a north Belfast PSNI spokesperson said: “There are a number of people gathered in the Cave Hill Country Park this afternoon.
“If you are out for your daily exercise period, please stay close to home and avoid popular beauty spots and open areas to avoid creating a large gathering.”
Meanwhile, a Rathcoole-based community group has called on residents to follow Government guidance after crowds of young people reportedly gathered in the estate on Saturday night.
A spokesperson for RATH Community Group stated: “Unfortunately we are hearing reports of large groups of youths gathering in Rathcoole Leisure Park. This is disappointing to say the least considering how dangerous this virus is.
“Can parents please have a word with your kids and make them aware we all need to adhere to this to help combat the spread of this deadly disease.”
A PSNI spokesperson said there were no reports of the incident.
