THE government has been advised by NPHET that there is a “considerable risk” that a fourth wave of infections will happen if restrictions are lifted too soon.
The Department of Health published the advice that NPHET gave to the government prior to Taoiseach Micheál Martin making the decision to extend Level Five restrictions for at least another six weeks. NPHET said vaccines will play a critical role in protecting the public but “ it is not possible to know at this stage what level of protection vaccination will give.”
“While we have just cause to be hopeful that things will improve over the course of the year, it is simply too early to predict what the future trajectory of the disease will be given all the uncertainties and unknowns in relation to variants and vaccine effectiveness and uptake levels.”

First case of B1525 Covid-19 variant detected in Ireland, says Nphet chairThe chairman of Nphet's Covid-19 expert advisory group has said the one case of the coronavirus variant B1525, first identified in the UK and Nigeria in December, was identified here through contact tracing and was connected to travel Who gives a flying fuck? 😂😂 a huge percentage dont. That’s who... 'Covid' is a mild respiratory illness for the vast majority of people. Once any interested vulnerable are 'vaccinated', everything should reopen.
