Covid-19 Cases Reach 4,505 On Island Of Ireland Today.

Enough people are NOT adhering to very basic transmission-prevention practices, hence the rise in Covid cases.

The Department of Health has confirmed 3,024 new Covid cases, over the past 24 hours, here in the Irish Republic.

There are 458 Covid patients in our hospitals and of these 90 are in our ICUs.

Health Service Executive CEO Mr Paul Reid has stated that 3,500 staff are out of work, because of Covid-19 and on average 1,800 unvaccinated people each day are now coming forward to register for immunisation.

An Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin has appealed for people to adhere to public health guidelines.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has said additional or wider public health measures are not being contemplated within our Republic at the moment and a Covid-19 circuit breaker is not currently under discussion. However he did warn that if people socialise, they should be mindful of their contacts in the days immediately after, especially with regard to people they may meet, who may be immunocompromised or vulnerable to Covid-19.

Amárach research data has shown that 1 in 4 people who attended hospitality venues last weekend, were not asked for their Covid Cert, which should make for interesting legal cases into the future.

A further 1,481 cases of coronavirus have been reported, in Northern Ireland, over the past 24 hours, up from 995 cases recorded yesterday. Same represents a total of 279,810 cases of coronavirus having been confirmed there since the pandemic began.

Today were 378 patients with Covid-19 in northern hospitals, with 41 Covid patients in intensive care units, up from 39 on yesterday.

Sadly, 12 more Covid-19-related deaths have also been reported in Northern Ireland today, with the total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in Northern Ireland since the start of the pandemic standing at 2,737.

The first anti-viral pill for the treatment of Covid-19 has been approved for use in the UK.

The poll, Molnupiravir, is for people who have had a positive Covid test and have at least one risk factor for developing severe illness, such as obesity; being over the age of 60; diabetes or heart disease.

Covid-19 Cases On Island Of Éire, In Past 24 Hours, Reaches 4,169.

Enough people are NOT adhering to very basic transmission-prevention practices, hence the rise in Covid cases.

The Department of Health has reported 3,174 new cases of Covid-19 in the past 24 hours, here in the Irish Republic. Dr Tony Holohan has also reported that, sadly, 56 deaths have occurred since last Wednesday, bringing the total number of deaths related to Covid-19 here to 5,492.

There were 460 patients currently in our hospitals suffering from the virus, 86 of whom are being treated in ICU’s around the Irish State. One in three beds in our ICUs are currently occupied by people with Covid-19, with the remainder occupied by people with other serious illnesses or trauma.

The CEO of Limerick University Hospital Group, latter serving North Tipperary has stated there has been a drop in the number of patients being treated for Covid-19, since last week,

In Northern Ireland a further 995 cases of coronavirus have been reported, over the same time-frame, down from 1,114 cases recorded yesterday. Sadly 10 more deaths have also been confirmed since yesterday. There were 378 patients with Covid-19 in northern hospitals, down from 381 reported yesterday.

Stormont’s Health Minister Mr Robin Swann has warned that further coronavirus restrictions may be necessary, if pressures on Northern Ireland’s health service continue to mount.

The HSE’s chief clinical officer, Dr Colm Henry has praised healthcare workers, stating they were the reason why there was a very low level of hospital acquired Covid infections within our hospitals currently.

Figures released by the HSE, show that every county within the Irish Republic has at least an 80% full vaccination rate.
On the other hand, some 95.8% of vaccine eligible people, within Co. Tipperary, have now received at least their first dose; while 94.6% of our residents, over the age of 12, are now fully vaccinated, thus ranking Tipperary in 4th place nationally, on the current Covid-19 vaccination uptake chart.

Abroad

German Health Minister Jens Spahn has stated that his country, somewhat like Ireland over the past few weeks, is experiencing a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’, and has called for tougher action to tame a resurgence in Covid cases.

The Dutch government has decided to reimpose measures, including the wearing of face masks, aimed at slowing the latest spike in Covid-19 infections.
The use of a “corona pass”, showing proof of a Covid-19 vaccination or recent negative coronavirus test, would be broadened as of November 6th to public places including museums, gyms and outdoor terraces, Prime Minister Mark Rutte has stated.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have unanimously supported broad use of Pfizer’s and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine in children ages 5 to 11, with shots potentially being administrated as soon as today. They maintain that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks.

In New Zealand, authorities have sealed off, since midnight, the city of Auckland using police cordons, as they enforce a lock-down in the region, over fears of an undetected community transmission of Covid-19 in that area.

The number of people suffering with the virus in hospital stands at 493 and of these patients 90 are confined to intensive care units (ICUs) across the country.

The Minister for Health Mr Stephen Donnelly has informed the Dáil that we have to be concerned that matters relating to Covid-19 will further deteriorate. He was proposing to extend emergency legislation on existing enforcement powers and fixed penalty notices in relation to the wearing of face masks and Covid passes; the laws relating to which are due to expire on November 9th next.

Mr Donnelly is now proposing to extend these regulations for another three months to end on February 9th; in light of the uncertainty of the trajectory of the current pandemic. Dáil Éireann will vote on this proposal tomorrow night.
Sadly, Sinn Féin’s Health Spokesperson Mr David Cullinane (Him of ‘Up the Ra’ embarrassment), has stated that his party will oppose this proposed extension “in principle”. Earlier, An Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin had stated that there were no guarantees that Covid-19 restrictions would not be re-introduced.

In Northern Ireland, a further 1,114 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed, up from 948 cases recorded yesterday.

Today there were 381 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals in Northern Ireland, up from 326 on Monday.

There are currently 36 of these Covid patients in northern intensive care units, the same number as reported yesterday.

Meanwhile, NewsGuard reports that misinformation, conspiracy theories and false claims regarding the Covid-19 virus and Covid vaccines, are been allowed to spread on more than a dozen Facebook and Instagram accounts; with same having gained some 370,000 followers over the past 12 months. This confirms statements recently made by Facebook whistle-blowers.
