Holohan warns of 'a large number' of Covid cases to come as 7,333 confirmed today

Dr Holohan said "we must now work together again" to bring down the incidence of the disease in the community.

Chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan said Ireland can expect to see a “large number of Covid cases over the next short period of time” due to the rapid spread and high transmission rate of the Omicron variant.

Dr Tony Holohan's comments come as a further 7,333 confirmed cases of Covid-19 have been reported in Ireland, the third-highest daily case total since the pandemic began.
