Admissions growing by around 5%

The number of Covid patients in hospital is growing at between 4% - 5% a day, according to NPHET.

The group's modelling expert, Philip Nolan, says infections in the fourth wave are unfortunately leading to hospital admissions.

169 people are in hospital with the virus - the highest in over two months.

1,501 new cases were also reported yesterday, and former head of the HSE, Tony O'Brien, expects a further spike in the coming days.
