The Health Protection Surveillance Centre in Ireland highlighted a significant increase in Covid cases, with 650 confirmed cases last week compared to 440 in early June.
The JN.1 Covid variant and its descendants nicknamed FLiRT are prevalent in Ireland, urging vigilance for symptoms, prevention measures, and protection of vulnerable individuals in healthcare settings.
Intensive care admissions due to Covid have remained stable, but the increased circulation in the community leads to more outbreaks in nursing homes, hospitals, and healthcare facilities, posing risks for vulnerable patients.
People are advised to stay home if experiencing any Covid symptoms, even mild ones, and to avoid contact with others, especially those at higher risk, to prevent further spread of the virus.
