The adviser on Covid-19 to the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP), Dr Mary Favier, has said that the country is in the position it is in now, with increased Covid cases, because people changed their behaviour.

Cork GP Dr Favier told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that she understood that people wanted to meet friends and family. “People are really struggling and feeling low, lonely and homesick,” she said before adding that “we have to be asked to do it one more time".
