A number of doctors have called to end the routine of issuing daily Covid-19 case numbers.
The call comes as a number of doctors have said that constant daily updates are meaningless and cause anxiety.
It is understood that there has been calls to introduce a weekly update as they would be more useful and meaningful.
The call for change is being led by Dr Maitiu O Tuathail, GP who posted the following message on Twitter.
“Daily updates on covid numbers and deaths is leading to HUGE anxiety.”
“Daily reporting is also meaningless, as cases go up + down each day
“We need weekly updates on cases + deaths – that’s useful and meaningful. End the #CovidRollercoaster now!”
Fully agree with @ciarakellydoc
