Hospitals will be busy over the holiday period and there will be delays, Paul Reid warns. Health staff are anxious and fearful about the period of uncertainty ahead, and are expecting cases to rise in the coming days
The health service is heading into the holiday period with a much higher level of demand than last year, according to its chief executive.
Mr Reid said the first Covid-19 vaccines were administered last St Stephen’s Day, when 9,700 people received a dose; on Wednesday, 108,000 doses were administered. The proportion of hospitalisations in over-65s has fallen from 10 per cent to 3.8 per cent since November as more older people received their booster, he said. In contrast, cases among 19-24-year-olds are up over one-quarter.
