The chair of the NPHET Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group has said it was not possible to make a prediction on the surge in Covid-19 cases at this time, as more time was needed for a more reliable picture.
The daily growth rate of Covid-19 cases has fallen from 33% to 15%, but despite this he said there was no room for complacency. He said the better people do at adhering to measures aimed at stopping this disease, the later and lower the peak would be on the curve. — RTÉ News March 30, 2020 In previous worst-case projections, the HSE had suggested that the number of patients requiring intensive care could have risen to a peak of 546 a day, by around mid-April.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Ms O'Connor said there were more than 2,000 beds available in the acute hospital system today and around 170 intensive care beds.
