Asked about the increase in cases of the so-called Indian variant, Dr Colm Henry, CCO, HSE said any increase was a concern, especially seeing how the variant has fared in the UK.

Dr Henry said it is more transmissible than the UK variant, but said they are unsure yet as to how severe it is.

He said it was important to get through the vaccine roll-out quickly before they allow the variant to get a foothold in the population.

Via RTÉ:

At the weekly HSE briefing, Mr Reid said recent Amárach Reseach data shows that the percentage of the population who say they will definitely take a vaccine has increased from 45% in November to 70% today, with an additional 17% saying they will “probably” take a vaccine.

He said the latest social activity measure by the ESRI shows that support for the vaccine remains strong.

He said HPSC data just being finalised shows a “quite extraordinary take-up” throughout the age groups.

“Based on the CSO data that they are working off…for the 85 years plus, 96% have received dose one”, Mr Reid said. “80 to 84, 99% dose one. 70 to 79, 97% , and 74 to 75 is 92%.”

He said 73% of the 60 to 69 group have received dose one, and 26.5% of 50 to 59s, as these cohorts are still receiving vaccines.

This morning.

HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid has expressed concern over the level of activity outside schools, saying that inter-household playdates are “a significant issue”.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Mr Reid said that transmission of Covid-19 was not high in schools, but warned that there had been a lot of activity outside of schools.

He said significant testing has been carried out in both primary and post-primary, and on average the positivity rates stand at 2.7% and 1.6% respectively.

“Playdates is very clearly one of the aspects of it coming through or visits between households, that it’s a very significant issue,” he said.
