Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has weighed in on whether or not Ireland needs to reintroduce Covid restrictions to combat the current surge in cases.
Dr Holohan has told the Government that further Covid measures are currently not needed as he assured Taoiseach Micheal Martin and Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly that the public health advice would remain the same.
A spokesperson for Mr Martin said he had spoken to Dr Holohan, saying: "There is no change to the public health advice, and the situation will continue to be monitored."
