Ireland is continuing to battle the spread of the Delta variant
Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has issued a demand to NPHET to exclude Covid-19-positive patients from hospital figures if they are receiving treatment for other reasons, it has been reported.
Government officials will use the added clarity to inform any further decisions on Covid-19 restrictions. And the Fine Gael leader also appeared to contradict the warnings about travel-related Covid cases from the Deputy CMO Dr Ronan Glynn. He told the Irish Mirror: “I think there was a strong sense, certainty in government and certainly advice that we're getting from NPHET that we should go very carefully around any further easing of restrictions, at least until the Delta wave peaks, and that'll be in a few weeks time.“I think there's certain common sense and not using restrictions further until that happens.
Speaking in Galway on Friday, the Tánaiste said “we don’t know for sure what the magic figure is” when it comes to achieving herd immunity.“We just don't know for sure what that magic figure is, you know, is that 80% of the population, is it 90% of the population?
