The number of Covid cases being reported in Ireland have increased “quite considerably” as well as the number of people hospitalised with the virus in recent days, according to Health Minister Stephen Donnelly.
While giving an update on the rising caseload, Mr. Donnelly also warned that this winter will likely be a difficult one for patients and healthcare professionals who are now preparing for the worst.
According to new figures, as of 8am on October 4, 290 people have tested positive for Covid via PCR testing, and an additional 710 have logged their positive at-home tests online.
