The country needs to “sustain” its resolve against Covid-19 as the situation, while improving, could “turn very quickly”, HSE chief Paul Reid has said.

At the HSE’s weekly briefing on Covid-19 on Thursday, health officials outlined the “positive” indicators, which put Ireland among only two countries in Europe showing a fall in Covid-19 infection rates.
