The peak of the summer wave of Covid has passed, according to Tanaiste Leo Varadkar, but what’s coming next will be ‘more serious.’
In the midst of the summer increase in infection, a new variant was found and named Centaurus. There is not a lot of information available on the new strain, however, experts have warned that it could be more transmissible than anything seen before.
Despite this, Varadkar confirmed that hospital numbers are decreasing and said this has happened without the need for new restrictions.
