"What appears to have been a very rapid decline of 6% a day , which had us on track for the really good figure we hoped for at the beginning of December has stalled in recent days with a growth rate of 0% and an R value probably between 0.7 and 0.9," Irish Health Service Executive chief clinical Colm Henry told a news briefing.269 people are currently being treated for Covid-19 in Irish hospitals, with 36 in ICU.
