Second wave of Covid-19 is probable in Ireland, says modelling expert

Professor Philip Nolan, who chairs the modelling advisory group on Covid-19, said if a second wave comes, there will be a more targeted approach.

The head of Ireland's Covid-19 modelling group says that people's behaviours will remain modified "for some time", but says that he "has no crystal ball" to say if the economy and society will return to full capacity by the end of the year.

Speaking at the Dáil special committee on Covid-19, Professor Philip Nolan said that there was "a lot of uncertainty about the future of us living with low levels of this virus somewhere in the EU".
