Stephen Donnelly’s latest Covid warning shed some light on the potential for a return of winter restrictions to curb the next wave of the virus in Ireland.
The Health Minister warned there has been a 'significant’ rise in the number of cases being reported here and said hospital numbers are already on the rise.
He spoke on Tuesday as he was bringing a memo to the Government outlining potential steps to be taken if there is another Covid wave - based on the advice from Chief Medical Officer Professor Breda Smyth.
