The number of Covid patients in intensive care could double in the next four weeks.
A member of NPHET says we're in for a 'bumpy ride' over the next month and more Covid restrictions are 'possible'.
The seven-day average of new cases has risen by 66 per cent in the past fortnight, and now stands at 1,889.
The number of Covid patients in hospital stands at 437 and 86 are in ICU - the highest in seven months.
Dr Mary Favier says cases have increased in 24 counties over the past week - and the hospital situation could worsen.
The number of Covid patients in intensive care could double in the next four weeks.
They're currently at their highest level in seven months, after the figure rose to 86 yesterday.
That compares to only 56 at the start of this month.
Dr Favier fears it will continue to rise in the next month, as cases are currently increasing in all age-groups
