The Department has also reported 1,378 new cases of Covid-19. It is the second day in a row that the number of new cases has been below 2,000 - the first time this has happened in 2021.
Speaking on RTÉ's This Week, Paul Reid said the HSE is seeing a huge difference in delayed discharges of patients from intensive care units. "If you look at the pipeline of patients potentially coming into ICU, there are still 430 patients who are receiving critical care outside of the ICU. They would be retrieving various levels of advanced respiratory support. Two-thirds of those would generally be discharged at some point in time, but one-third would possibly go through ICU or indeed sadly in some cases mortality," he said.
He also said they have deployed antigen testing to assess where there are outbreaks in hospitals and have secured a supply for a further 500,000 antigen tests. This will be brought into the hospital system from 27 January, he said. He said the HSE has been reassured of the February vaccine supply being delivered as planned and will commence with the over 70s in mid-February.He said there are a range of other suppliers that will give greater contingency planning but admitted to unpredictability at the moment.
OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING MAN'S DEATH AFTER RECEIVING VACCINE 24/01/2021

Erroneous stating anything is a coronavirus- related death, covid- related death, covid- variant related death. Also any 'cases' previously can be discounted as WHO now admit PCR tests are NOT accurate.
The keyword is 'related'. Wake up world to what's in front of your eyes. 'Related'
What are the numbers on vaccine related deaths?
Are we actually meant to believe that there was 8 & 6,000 cases a day a few weeks ago 😂😂 Pile of shite. End this nonsense, if cowards want to be afraid of this new illness let then hide away
He talks like he has no hand in it. He has not supplied staff in hospitals with FFPT2 masks. He has not increased hospital icu capacity. He didn’t not have the covid traning ready prior to the 26th. He delayed vaccination for 5 days... seriously?
Why wouldn't you lead with case number's and deaths which is what has been happening all along? I'm not a conspiratorist but this is questionable.
We’re heading the right way. Next step is for the hospital/ICU admissions to start coming down. Let’s keep it going. Every day we’re closer to the end. Stay safe all
When are they actually going to start test close contacts again. Numbers are false
belarus with no lockdown = no mass hysteria , no snitching on neighbours and friends , no panic buying , no severe paranoia , no major deaths etc etc
Die of covid or underlying health issue with covid Come on rte,less propaganda
The day with the lowest cases in weeks and you leave it out of the headline 😂😂😂suspicious
Start testing close contacts nkw and you'll see now is not the time to reopen schools If schools reopen next Monday in any capacity it would be a national disgrace These numbers are not accurate
