The National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) is to meet this morning to discuss the spread of Covid-19, which has been described as "concerning" by a former health boss.

It comes as the current head of the HSE has expressed concern that there could be “an explosive concoction” that could have a major impact after Christmas.
