Growth rate of Covid cases in Ireland increasing by 'about 3% per day'

Prof Nolan said that the vaccines are working but the public needs “to help them by keeping the level of circulating virus as low as possible. Case counts and hospitalisations are both key indicators.” 

Covid-19 case numbers are increasing at a rate of “about 3% per day”, according to a health chief.

Professor Philip Nolan said that while vaccines are offering protection, the numbers in hospitals are also “trending upwards”.
