The Department of Health has confirmed 1,592 new cases of Covid-19 in the Irish Republic within the past 24 hours. There are 318 patients in our hospitals, with 60 of this number in Intensive care units
Only 53% of those aged between 16 to 29, within the Republic are fully vaccinated and thus they continue to account for the highest incidence of Covid-19 in our population. Those, who to date, have not been vaccinated with the ongoing rise in Covid-19 case numbers, could now impact on delaying elective procedures in our hospitals, with bed capacity continuing to reduce in recent days.
