Ireland's Covid Delta situation today - one key reason for optimism and Taoiseach tells what happens next
The country is in for a "bumpy journey" over the next few weeks with the Delta variant likely to see cases surge, according to HSE Chief Paul Reid.And in an optimistic message, Mr Reid said that community positivity in testing dropped on Saturday as the race between the vaccines and Delta variant continues.
Mr Martin said: "The situation is serious in regards to Delta and all of us have to be vigilant in terms of our individual behaviours because this is a further twist in the road of Covid-19 and there will be high volumes of case numbers, which will continue to grow. "Quite a lot of cases develop into Long Covid or complications which we do not want and do not need."
