Immunologist: Still a chance Ireland can eliminate Covid-19 and reopen schools in Autumn

The final phase of reopening was always going to be incredibly ambitious unless the country went for a zero Covid strategy, he told Newstalk’s Pat Kenny show.

Immunologist Dr Tomás Ryan has said there is still a chance that Ireland can eliminate Covid-19 so that schools and businesses can fully reopen in the autumn.

Dr Ryan, Associate Professor at the School of Biochemistry and Immunology in Trinity College said that the pausing of the reopening was “a step in the right direction.”
