Covid-19 is growing again at a rate of 2-3 per cent a day but there is no “single silver bullet”  that was the warning yesterday from NPHET. During their first press briefing in almost two months, NPHET also warned that the future trajectory of the disease remains very uncertain and involves “significant risk” to the health service.  Professor Liam Fanning, Professor of Immunovirology at UCC  joined us this morning and we ask how concerned should we be about the rise in cases?
