Yesterday saw 1,378 new covid cases reported. Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn has warned of a “significant increase” in hospitalisations and intensive care admissions if the incidence of Covid-19 continues to rise.  Dr Glynn highlighted how the 14-day incidence rate has increased from 93 per 100,000 in the week of June 24th to 246 per 100,000 today. To discuss this further we were joined on the show by Professor of Immunovirology at UCC, Liam Fanning.
