Covid-19 vaccinations in Greece will be made mandatory for people aged 60 years and over, as the country comes to grips with a new surge of the disease. Authorities have stated they will impose a €100 fine on every individual over the age of 60 years, who has not received vaccinations, with the measure applying each month, beginning from January 16th onwards.
The head of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Ms Emer Cooke, has stated that present Covid-19 vaccines will continue to provide protection against current new variants.

The Department of Health has confirmed 4,607 new cases of Covid-19, here in the Republic of Ireland, in the previous 24 hours.

The promised new system of antigen testing for asymptomatic close contacts of Covid-19 has begun in the Irish Republic’s primary schools. Under the system, antigen tests will be made available to primary school children when a child in their ‘pod’ has a positive PCR test for the virus. Antigen testing will be offered to a full class when two or more confirmed cases of Covid-19 occur in the class within a seven-day period and outside of a single pod.
The Irish Government has dropped plans to provide cheaper antigen tests, possibly based on the strong advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet). The Minister for Health, Mr Stephen Donnelly, has stated that the price of antigen tests has now fallen in shops and supermarkets to a more affordable level.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the new Covid-19 Omicron variant, first discovered in southern Africa, now poses a very high risk globally, despite uncertainties about the danger and contagion levels of this new worrying strain. However to date, no deaths connected with the Omicron variant have as yet been reported.
The Scottish government has confirmed 6 cases of the Covid-19 Omicron variant. Meanwhile, the Government in the Republic has confirmed that 11 positive tests for Covid-19 are being further examined today in an effort to identify whether or not they are in fact this same new Omicron variant.
In Northern Ireland, today a further 1,464 new cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the previous 24 hours, up from 1,405 cases reported yesterday.
There remain 340 Covid patients in northern hospitals 30 on Friday’s figures, with 28 people being treated in intensive care units (ICU’s), down 5 since Friday.
