Up to 12,000 children are restricting their movements due to being a close contact of someone with Covid-19.

However Dr Ryan is also concerned that the elderly in particular are becoming vulnerable again despite being fully vaccinated.

“I had a call this morning about an elderly patient who died with Covid – a very tragic case because her husband is also in hospital with Covid and he can’t go to the funeral.”

“So the point is we’re now hearing cases of people who are vaccinated are picking it up and that’s so sad to see. What we need fast are the boosters to come on because a lot of the elderly patients who were vaccinated back in February – it only lasts we think six months so that’s a big worry.”
