The Department of Health has confirmed a further 1,394 cases of Covid-19 in the Republic of Ireland over the past 24 hours.
The number of people in our hospitals with the virus now stands at 321, which is up 6 on the figure we reported yesterday. Of these patients, 58 are in intensive care, down 1 since yesterday.
In Northern Ireland, yet another 1,199 cases of coronavirus were reported over the same time scale. Alas, sadly 8 further coronavirus-related deaths have been reported also in the last 24 hours.
There were 457 patients with Covid-19 in northern hospitals today, with 41 patients in hospital intensive care units; 32 of which were on ventilators.
Meanwhile, current vaccines are sufficiently effective at preventing severe Covid-19, and there is no current need for the general population to be given a third booster dose, according to a report in “The Lancet” journal, published today, even with the threat of Delta. Available studies; the report claims, do not provide credible evidence of substantially declining protection against severe disease, which was and is the primary goal of vaccinations.
World Health Organisation Chief, Mr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has called on countries to avoid giving out extra Covid jabs until the end of the year.
Vaccination continues to offer the best protection against the most severe effects of COVID-19, including hospitalisation and death.
Covid-19 Cases Reach 2,377 On Irish Mainland Today.
The Department of Health here in the Republic of Ireland has confirmed 1,346 new cases of Covid-19, over the past 24 hours.
The number of people in our hospitals with the virus today stands at 315, up 4 on yesterday’s figures, while the number of people in our ICUs with the virus is 59, up 1 on yesterday’s figures.
In Northern Ireland, their Department of Health has confirmed 1,031 new cases of coronavirus, down from 1,424 cases reported yesterday.
Sadly, 6 coronavirus-related deaths have also been reported in Northern Ireland over the same period.
According to research led by King’s College London and published in The Lancet weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal; being fully vaccinated against Covid-19 not only cuts the risk of individuals catching Covid-19, but also of any infection turning into long Covid. [Long Covid materialises through symptoms including; tiredness; shortness of breath; joint pain; heart palpitations; chest pain; problems with memory and concentration (“known as brain fog”); changes to taste and smell.]
This ongoing research also indicates that in the minority of people who get Covid and despite having received two jabs, the odds of developing symptoms lasting longer than a month, are cut by some 50%.
Sadly, with deaths now reaching well over 4.5 million worldwide, many of us continue to stubbornly refuse to implement the measures necessary, in our own local communities, in bringing this killer disease to a sudden halt.
Vaccination continues to offer the best protection against the most severe effects of COVID-19, including hospitalisation and death.

The Chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group Professor Mr Philip Nolan has stated that the incidence rate of Covid-19, while still very high, has decreased over the last fortnight, and the numbers of people in hospital and ICU have stabilised.
Vaccination continues to offer the best protection against the most severe effects of COVID-19, including hospitalisation and death.

The Republic’s Minister for Health Mr Stephen Donnelly has stated that the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) has recommended that booster vaccines be provided to residents of nursing or care homes who are aged 65 and over, as well as anyone aged over 80. Same would be eligible to receive a mRNA vaccine booster dose.
