The EU's drug watchdog has approved two Covid-19 antibody treatments, in its first approvals of the groundbreaking therapies that help stop infected people developing symptoms of the disease

Ronapreve, made by Swiss pharma giant Roche with US biotech firm Regeneron, and Regkirona, developed by South Korea's Celltrion, got the green light from the European Medicines Agency .

"With Covid-19 infections on the rise in almost all member states, it is reassuring to see many promising treatments in development as part of our COVID-19 therapeutics strategy," she said in a statement. "The State of Israel is in an excellent situation. We beat the fourth wave and we are on our way toward exiting the Delta variant. However, at the same time, we are always looking ahead... We are not 'closing up shop'," it said.

In late August and early September, however, cases of Covid infection rose to more than 10,000 a day, a number that has since fallen to just a few hundred.

Presenting proposed measures drafted by the three parties in parliament, he said new restrictions were necessary to "get through this winter". The measures proposed by the incoming coalition parties include restricting access to certain facilities to those who are vaccinated or have recovered from the disease - a system known as 2G in Germany.

"The pandemic is returning in a new spectacular fashion," her spokesperson said this week, calling on regional authorities to take further steps to quell the outbreak. Six new cases were found in Beijing's central districts of Chaoyang and Haidian this morning, local media reported, all close contacts of people infected recently in northeastern Jilin province.

Beijing health officials said at a briefing that more than 280 close contacts have been identified, with almost 12,000 people screened for the virus in both Chaoyang and Haidian districts. As more nations lift coronavirus restrictions, China continues to pursue a strict zero-Covid strategy that has seen its international borders largely closed since the start of the pandemic.

As it happened - NPHET reports 2,975 new Covid-19 casesDr Ronan Glynn said the core message still to parents is that any child with any symptoms needs to stay at home and get a test. He said the key thing for parents is that antigen testing should not be used as a green light test if children have symptoms. | This is a national disgrace. ALL recipients of vaccines have waning protection as time goes on, down to 55% at 5 months. So Irish public ‘Health’ are saying that 5 months after the initial jab people won’t necessarily get their protection? WTF? Germany, France are doing them NOW. Doesn't matter what they say about boosters a majority of 60-69s can't have theirs until late Dec/early Jan due to the slow rollout of our first AZ vaccine. Hardly our fault and we are not going to be staying home waiting yet again. Life is way too short. NPHET and speaking when they get it right and stop scaremongering I'll start listening to them.

Covid-19: 3,578 new cases and 83 in ICUThe Department of Health has been notified of 3,578 additional cases of Covid-19. The number of patients in ICU with Covid-19 is 83, an increase of five on the same time yesterday. Everyone deserves to be there Close the labs!! Surely the only logical step is a return to proper level 5 and 2km rule while we contain delta, then by February or so we would have cases down and we could give the hospitals and frontline workers a deserved break
