PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS have warned that Ireland is now “clearly in a third wave of this pandemic”.

The chair of the NPHET Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group Professor Philip Nolan yesterday urged people to stay at home and stop socialising.

More than 700 cases of Covid-19 were reported in each of the last two days.

The Cabinet is meeting this morning to consider fresh new restrictions to take effect as early as Christmas Eve.

The government is expected to announce the measures this afternoon.
