Covid-19 cases are declining all over the world except in Europe this week, according to the World Health Organisation.
The WHO’s weekly global report also highlights a new Irish study on the impact of the Alpha or B.117 variant of the virus on new-born babies. The study found no increase in premature births or neonatal intensive care unit admissions between March 2020 and March this year.
