Hospital numbers continue to rise and the summer Covid-19 wave spreads across Ireland once more.
The highly transmissible BA.4 and BA.5 variants have resulted in a huge spike, with health officials now posting new guidance. People with even mild symptoms of the virus are being asked to self-isolate to help slow down the spread.
New symptoms are being brought to light and the public is being warned to isolate if they develop them. If you are displaying signs of Covid, even mild ones, you should self-isolate until 48 hours after their symptoms are mostly or completely gone and wear a face mask if you have to be around other people.
