There have been 1,978 new cases of Covid-19 reported by the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) this evening. This is the highest daily case total since January 22 when 2,371 cases were reported. In addition, while incidence is particularly high in those aged 16-29 years, incidence is now rising across all age groups. Today we have 43, with 8 new admissions in the last 24 hours,” Dr Glynn said. Dr Glynn is encouraging people to “risk assess their plans” if they are socialising this weekend.
