Cianan Brennan: Government in a sticky spot amid Covid fluctuations and big decisions

Dr Ronan Glynn, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, expressed his concern at rising Covid-19 figures at the weekend.

The 200 confirmed cases reported on Saturday was the highest daily load seen since the dark days of mid-May before the first lockdown measures were removed.
