The number of Covid-19 cases reported by the Health Service Executive today will be approximately 1,000, according to chief executive Paul Reid.
At a briefing this afternoon Mr Reid said the HSE was on a higher alert now with case numbers and hospitalisation figures rising and he said it was important not to return to January levels of Covid illness due to the pressure this would place on hospitals.
The last time the HSE reported 1,000 or more cases was in February.
He said the vaccination rollout was reducing the area of weakness that the Delta variant will seek to exploit and said the only constraint in the vaccination programme was supply.
Mr Reid said vaccine update across the age cohorts remains high with 99 per cent of over 80s vaccinated, 98 per cent of those in the 70-79 age cohort;94 per cent for those aged 60-69; 91 per cent for 50-59 year-olds and 84 per cent of the 40-49 year-olds.
A further 1,083 cases of Covid-19 have been reported in Northern Ireland, the Department of Health said. No further coronavirus-linked deaths have been reported. On Thursday morning there were 80 Covid-19 positive patients in hospital, with two in intensive care. To date, 2,145,799 vaccines have been administered.
