A doctor has warned people to remain vigilant as there is still "an awful lot of Covid infection" going undiagnosed in Ireland.
Speaking to Newstalk, Dr Eoghan de Barra, an infectious disease consultant at Beaumont Hospital, said despite Covid cases in hospitals dropping, there is still plenty of infection spreading.
The most recent figures show that the number of hospital patients with the virus has dropped by 23% in a week, with 815 patients currently in hospital with Covid - down from 1,055 on July 11.
