The Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan is not happy with the Irish people today saying that the latest data shows a “concerning increase in transmission” of the Delta variant of Covid-19 in Ireland.
Posting on social media, Holohan said that it’s now estimated that the variant accounts for up to 20% of new cases in Ireland that were reported last week, and that there have also been a number of outbreaks associated with the Delta variant in the past week.
He said that the pattern is now similar to that of other European countries.
