“We're not going back to a previous virus as severe as Alpha and Delta'

The public has been given some positive Covid-19 news as cases continue to soar and hospitals come under pressure.

These two strains may be flying through the community at the moment, however, to the relief of many Dr. Cillian de Gascun says “we're not going back to a previous virus like Alpha and Delta." Dr De Gascun spoke to RTÉ Radio’s News at One earlier today and explained: "It's important to try to reassure people that while these viruses have a growth advantage and are more contagious than BA1 and BA2, it's a minor change in behaviour, we're not going back to a previous virus like Alpha and Delta.”
