Experts have warned that Ireland is in the grip of another Covid-19 wave with a 19% weekly increase in patients treated in hospital for the virus.
Yesterday, there were 776 patients in hospital with the virus - up 124 from last week. The surge in cases has prompted the Government to issue a fresh appeal to those who have not yet been vaccinated to come forward for their jab.
But even people who have been vaccinated can catch the virus and according to a recent study, there are nine key symptoms that may indicate a person has contracted Covid. These include; cough, runny nose, fatigue, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, fever, sneezing and reduced appetite.
