Paul Reid says the decline in Covid patients in hospital and a consistent set of downward positive Covid 19 trends give great hope.
A consistent set of #COVID19 trends give great hope. Hospital cases down to 940, ICU at 83 & fewer patients on oxygen support. GP referrals & overall cases down. Booster vaccines & the public's response have so far eased the worst impacts. Please get your booster asap. @HSELive

Hospital cases down to 940, with 83 in intensive care units and fewer patients on oxygen support prompted the head of the HSE to tweet that the publics efforts have resulted in an easing of the worst impacts of the virus.
With GP referrals and overall cases down, Reid said that this particular pattern gives ''Great Hope''.
Monaghan based GP Dr. Illona Duffy says Doctors are noticing the drop in cases '' the number of calls and those presenting with Covid-like symptoms seem to be dropping''.
