HSE's Chief Operations Officer Anne O'Connor said Covid-19 'hasn't gone away' from a health service perspective

Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Anne O'Connor said Covid-19 "hasn't gone away" from a health service perspective.

She said that some improvements had been made regarding waiting times for inpatients and procedures such as scopes. Earlier, the President of the Irish Association for Emergency Medicine welcomed the lifting of restrictions, but said hospital emergency departments will continue to see "a lot of Covid."

He also said that many people who returned to work in the healthcare will be frustrated by the genuinely poor infrastructure.

And what’s plans has COO put in place to defend against any future issues.

Course it’s not going anywhere but there’s no point going back into another lockdown

Australia Covid-19 deaths rise as Omicron peaksAustralia has recorded another surge of deaths due to Covid-19 as an outbreak of the highly contagious Omicron variant peaked, and authorities warned numbers could rise further when schools return from end-of-year holidays next week. It's hard to look at the Covid policies of Australia and New Zealand as anything other than catastrophic strategic failures. No natural immunity and using obsolete social restrictions to attempt to eradicate Omicron. Bleak outlook for them. 58 deaths in a country of over 20m is not a surge. Stop fear mongering and using these poor people as overblown and poor presented statistics for it May they rest in peace Over 50s passed away unfortunately.
