Covid-19 cases could hit ‘explosive level’ again as baseline level of infection remains too high, says HSE chief

“Increasingly we are seeing people mixing between homes and apartments. We are seeing that increasingly again,” he said.

Mr Reid responded: “The universities have been really proactive in the approaches they are taking not just on the campus, but also off campus. He acknowledged some GP practices had not been receiving vaccines as requested and there had been an uneven distribution of vaccines. Mr Reid said a GP order support team has been put in place to assist in placing orders. GPs will be able to send their orders to a dedicated email address. Up to February 22nd, 359,559 vaccinations were administered with 145,557 to residents of long-term residential care facilities, 198,037 to frontline healthcare workers and 15,864 to those over the age of 85.

There were just four new outbreaks of the disease in hospitals reported in the week to February 4th – one-third of the number recorded the previous week – while cases linked to those outbreaks fell to fewer than five, down from 12 a week earlier and 116 in early January. Hospital infections among healthcare workers have fallen in recent weeks as immunity from the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines to hospital staff since late December appears to have taken effect.The number of outbreaks reported in nursing homes rose by two, to seven outbreaks during the week, though the figure is down significantly from the 47 new outbreaks in early January.

And after that the covid asteroid is coming 🤣🤣✊💦💦

It’s that word again COULD !!!!! It NEVER EVER DOES. Could thought 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡

Irish times pursuing a scaremongering line. Please remember the mental health of the nation matters.

None one believes HSE and certainly not Paul Reid. NPHED waste of space and Government should be in the zoo. People had enough

Fuck off with your propaganda shite.. 🙄

So then why are the borders open? Why are the kids going back to school? Do you just write this stuff for clicks?

When did the 100k+ number of vaccines being delivered this week fall to 80k? And next week showing less than 100k too?

STOP the fear mongering people have had enough, all the world is open other than Ireland. MentalHealthMatters

1 km when it hits explosive level

Christ, irishtimes really doing their bit for national morale today.

We have been in level 5 lockdown for over 2 months now. Where are these cases coming from? Doesn't this prove that lockdown doesn't work?

Paul Reid has no medical training. His role is administration. He's entitled to his opinion but why is it news? It's like the head of Horse Racing Ireland talking about the best way to travel the course at Cheltenham.

Rein in the optimism lads,I can't handle it!!

More fear porn

Stop parroting this nonsensical scaremongering. People have switched off and the more HSE/NPHET double down on fear, the more credence is given to conspiracy theorists

They really lost it. Try to scare people to comply with their inhuman severe restrictions, they really do not understand this the end of them

As you can see by the comments we are all just completely fed up to the back teeth with this. I'm not allowed to travel over 5km but thousands of people every week are flying into the country.stick your restrictions up your hole

People flying into the country every day. Yet we have to stay indoors for a year. Guys, I really don't think we'll see the summer out without serious civil disobedience

Shameful!!! No morals at the Irish times more propaganda

And yet school reopen

Shut it Paul..Same old regurgitated sound bites.

If we only had some way to protect people.....

Cases.

Project fear - explosive is not very scientific language btw

Yawn....

Nay sayers

More fear mongering! Give it up lads!

‘Quick! Rush the small children back!’ Stop voting for pure evil.
