“Similar increasing trends are being seen in several other countries across Europe as BA.4 and BA.5 become the dominant variants in circulation. This is likely due to their ability to evade immune protection caused by prior infection and/or vaccination, particularly if this immunity has waned over time,” reads the HSPC report.The HSPC has also said that there is “currently no indication” of a change in the severity of the virus compared to previous Omicron subvariants.
This is a 52.6% increase compared to the previous week, where there were 6,837 confirmed cases of Covid-19 notified. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youHospitalisation data from the HSE shows that at 8am on Wednesday, there were 629 patients receiving treatment in hospital who had a confirmed case of Covid-19.
