The Department of Health announced that 4.650 new cases of Covid-19 have been reported to the Department today. D'fhogair an Roinn Sláinte gur 4.650 cás nua de covid 19 atá curtha in iúl don Roinn inniu. 643 people are hospitalized for the virus, 9 more than yesterday's number. Tá 643 duine in ospidéil de bharr an víorais, 9 níos mó ná mar an lion inné. This number of patients is 20% higher than last week and 40% higher than two weeks ago. Tá an líon seo othar 20 faoin gcéad nios airde ná an tseachtain seo caite agus 40 faoin gcéad nios airde ná coicís ó shin. Of these, 118 patients are in intensive care, one less than yesterday. 118 othar diobh sin atá faoi dhianchúram, ceann níos lú ná an lá inné. For the past week, about one in six people in Ireland have experienced symptoms similar to Covid, according to the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan. Le seachtain anus, tá siomptóim ar aon dul le Covid ar thart ar dhuine amháin as gach seisear in Éirinn, dar leis an bPríomhoifigeach Leighis, an Dr Tony Holohan. These include coughing, sore throat or high temperature. Ina measc sin tá casacht, scórnach thinn nó teocht ard. The most important action a person can take if they have symptoms similar to Covid's is to do self-isolation and fix a PCR test, not an antigen test. An gníomh is tábhachtaí is féidir le duine a dhéanamh má bhíonn siomptóim ar aon dul le Covid orthu é féinleithlisiú a dhéanamh agus tástáil PCR, agus ní tástáil antaigine, a shocrú. HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid said in the evening that the situation in hospitals and the health system as a whole is extremely serious, and that this last outbreak has been putting incredible pressure on the system. Deir Príomh- Fheidhmeannach an HSE Paul Reid tráthnóna, go bhfuil cúrsaí sna hospidéil agus sa chóras sláinte trí chéile thar a bheith tromchúiseach, agus go raibh an ráig dheireanach seo ag cur brú dochreidte ar an gcóras. Paul Reid said 476 patients were placed in intensive care between June 27 and November 13. Dúirt Paul Reid gur cuireadh 476 othar faoi dhianchúram idir an 27 Meitheamh agus an 13 Samhain. Of these: The test system is also under pressure, he said, saying that over 200,000 tests have been carried out in the last seven days. Astu sin: Tá brú freisin ar an gcóras tástála a dúirt sé á rá go ndearnadh os cionn 200,000 tástáil le seacht lá anuas. The Chief Clinical Officer in the HSE and Dr. Dúirt an Príomhoigifeach Cliniciúil sa HSE and Dr. Colm Henry states that the majority of cases are currently in the youngest age groups, with 51% of cases being in the under 35s. Colm Henry gur sna haoisghrúpaí is óige atá formhór na gcásanna faoi láthair, agus go bhfuil 51 faoin gcéad de na cásanna sna daoine atá faoi 35 bhliana d'aois. But 45% of cases admitted to hospitals in the past two weeks are in groups over 65, he said. Ach sna grúpaí os cionn 65 bhliana atá 45 faoin gcéad de na cásanna a tugadh isteach sna hospidéil le coicís anuas, a dúirt sé.

Tá achainí déanta ag Príomhoifigeach Cliniciúil Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte, an Dochtúir Colm Henry ar an bpobal leanúint orthu ag cloí go docht leis na treoracha sláinte poiblí bunúsacha san áireamh, mascanna a chaitheamh agus scarúint shóisialta a chleachtadh i bhfianaise ardú a bheith tagtha ar chásanna covid 19 sa tír. Dr Henry says the rise in cases is coming at a time when other winter viruses are also spreading in the community, including winter flu. Deir an Dochtúir Henry go bhfuil an t-ardú ar na cásanna ag teacht ag am go bhfuil víris eile an gheimhridh ag scaipeadh i measc an phobail chomh maith, ina measc, fliú an gheimhridh. The protection that vaccines give people is still working says Dr. Henry and fewer people are seriously ill in the intensive care units than last January.

Ospidéil i gCorcaigh agus i nGaillimh "faoi bhrú mór" arís. Health Service Executive Chief Operations Officer Anne O'Connor said the number of people on trolleys in hospitals and waiting for a bed has risen since outpatient services were re-provided. Dúirt Príomhoifigeach Oibríochtaí Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte Anne O'Connor go bhfuil an líon daoine atá ar thralaithe in ospidéil agus ag fanacht le leaba a fháil ardaithe ó cuireadh seirbhísí d'othair sheachtracha ar fáil arís. Anne O'Connor stated that the Executive is concerned about the number of people on trolleys in five hospitals in particular, namely, Mayo, Mullingar, Galway, Cork and Tallaght. Thug Anne O'Connor le fios go bhfuil imní ar an bhFeidhmeannacht faoin líon daoine atá ar thralaithe i gcúig ospidéal ach go háirithe, mar atá, Maigh Eo, an Muileann gCearr, Gaillimh, Corcaigh agus Tamhlacht. Speaking at the Executive's weekly press conference, she said there would be a major challenge if Covid-19 cases rise in those areas. Ag labhairt di ag preasócáid sheachtainiúil na Feidhmeannachta, dúirt sí go mbeidh dúshlán mór i gceist má bhíonn ardú ar chásanna covid 19 sna háiteanna sin. Anne O'Connor also said that the hospitals in Cork and Galway have been under a lot of pressure for a number of weeks. Dúirt Anne O'Connor freisin go bhfuil na ospidéil i gCorcaigh agus i nGaillimh faoi bhrú mór le roinnt seachtainí. The Executive's Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry said the Delta variant of the coronavirus caused 70% of new Covid-19 cases in Ireland. Dúirt Príomhoifigeach Cliniciúil na Feidhmeannachta an Dr Colm Henry gurb é an t-athraitheach Deilte ar an gcoróinvíreas is cúis le 70 faoin gcéad de chásanna nua covid 19 in Éirinn. This percentage is likely to rise and the number of people who become ill as a result will rise, he said. Is é is dóichí de go n-ardóidh an céatadán seo agus go n -ardóidh líon na ndaoine a bheas tinn dá bharr, a dúirt sé. Dr Henry indicated that 55% of those who contracted the disease in a week were between the ages of 18 and 44. Thug an Dr Henry le fios gur daoine idir 18 agus 44 bliain ab ea 55 faoin gcéad de na daoine a tholg an galar le seachtain. 30% were between 0 and 18 years old and 2.4% were over 65.

"Dúshláin mar gheall ar chibirionsaí le dul i méid" - Colm Henry. Dr Colm Henry, Chief Clinical Officer of the Health Service Executive, said the cyber-attack on the organisation's computer system has had a significant impact on the organisation's overall ability to provide appropriate care to patients. Dúirt Príomhoifigeach Clinicúil Fheidhmeannacht na Seribhíse Sláinte an Dr Colm Henry go bhfuil an cibirionsaí ar ríomhchóras na heagraíochta tar éis tionchar mór a bheith aige ar chumas na heagraíochta trí chéile an cúram cuí a chur ar fáil d'othair. Dr Henry pointed out that modern healthcare is about computer systems and said he believes the challenges of the hacking attack will increase in most hospitals in the country this week. . Thug an Dr Henry le fios go bhfuil cúram sláinte nua-aimseartha i dtaobh le ríomhchórais agus dúirt go gcreideann sé go rachaidh na dúshláin a bhaineann leis an ionsaí haiceála, go rachaidh siad i méid sa chuid is mó d'ospidéil na tíre an tseachtain seo. Health services across the country were severely disrupted by the intrusion on the Health Service Executive 's computer system at the end of last week. Cuireadh as go mór do sheirbhísí sláinte ar fud na tíre mar gheall ar an bhfoghail a rinneadh ar ríomhchóras Fheidhmeannacht na Seribhíse Sláinte ag deireadh na seachtaine seo caite. Speaking on RTÉ, Dr Henry said that while emergency emergency care is still being provided, it is not the same as the type of care that existed prior to the attack. Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt an Dr Henry cé go bhfuil cúram práinneach éigeandála á chur ar fáil i gcónaí nach ionann é agus an cineál cúraim a bhí ann roimh an ionsaí haiceála. Dr Colm Henry Suppose, he said, the computer system has previously been used to order, record and compare medical tests with other medical tests. An Dr Colm Henry Cuir i gcás, a dúirt sé, roimhe seo bhaintí leas as an ríomhchóras le tástálacha leighis a ordú, a bhreacadh síos agus a chur i gcomparáid le tástálacha eile leighis. However, at present, he said, people in hospitals are handing out test results to consultants manually and those results are also being made available to GPs over the telephone. Faoi láthair, áfach, a dúirt sé, tá daoine in ospidéil ag cur torthaí tástálacha ar fáil do dhochtúirí comhairleacha de láimh agus táthar freisin ag cur na dtorthaí sin ar fáil do dhochtúirí teaghlaigh ar an teileafón. Dr Henry said the Executive 's staff, in conjunction with external agencies, are working to get the most urgent computer systems back to work, such as maternity services, radiology, radiotherapy and diagnostics. Dúirt an Dr Henry go bhfuil foireann na Feidhmeannachta, i gcomhar le gníomhaireachtaí seachtracha, ar a mbionda ag iarraidh na ríomhchórais is práinní a chur ag obair arís, leithéidí seirbhísí máithreachais, raideolaíochta, radaiteiripe agus diagnóisice. He also indicated that he was hopeful that their salaries would be paid to health workers tomorrow as usual he could not secure it. Thug sé le fios chomh maith siúd is go raibh dóchas aige go n-íocfar a dtuarastail le hoibrithe sláinte arú amárach mar is gnách nach bhféadfadh sé dul in urrús air.

"Róluath le scoileanna a oscailt arís" - Colm Henry. The spread of Covid-19 disease in the community is still far too high for schools to reopen, said Health Service Executive Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry. Tá leathadh an ghalair covid 19 i measc an phobail i bhfad ró-ard fós le go n- osclófaí scoileanna arís, a dúirt Príomhoifigeach Cliniciúil Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte an Dr Colm Henry. Colm Henry said it was bad news that schools were still closed but that the spread of the disease was now ten times higher than at the beginning of December. Dúirt Colm Henry gur olc an scéal é go bhfuil na scoileanna dúnta i gcónaí ach go bhfuil ráta scaipthe an ghalair deich n-uaire níos airde anois ná mar a bhí ag tús mhí na Nollag. The dispersal rate needs to be lowered significantly before the chance can be taken to bring children from different families back to school, he claimed. Ní mór an ráta scaipthe a ísliú go mór sular féidir dul sa seans agus leanaí ó theaghlaigh éagsúla a thabhairt le chéile ar scoil arís, a mhaígh sé. Nonetheless, Colm Henry said, he hopes that children with special needs will be able to be catered for in some way. Ina dhiaidh sin féin, a dúirt Colm Henry, tá sé ag súil go mbeifear in ann freastal ar bhealach éigin ar leanaí a bhfuil riachtanais speisialta acu. He pointed out that this country is in a quandary in terms of Covid-19 and although the number of cases among the population has decreased slightly recently there is still a staggering rate. Thug sé le fios go bhfuil an tír seo i ngábh ó thaobh covid 19 de agus cé go bhfuil laghdú beag tagtha le gairid ar an líon cásanna i measc an phobail go bhfuil ráta as cuimse ann i gcónaí. About 2,500 cases a day currently exist, he said. Thart ar 2,500 cás sa ló atá ann faoi láthair, a dúirt sé. He said while those people who have not been hit sick enough yet have the virus. Dúirt sé cé go bhfuil an víreas ar na daoine sin nár buaileadh tinn go leor acu fós. Finally, he said, some of them have to be hospitalized, some in an intensive care unit, and unfortunately some of them will die. Ar deireadh, a dúirt sé, caithfear cuid acu a chur san ospidéal, cuid acu in aonad dianchúraim, agus ar an drochuair gheobhaidh cuid acu bás. Colm Henry praised all the health workers who are currently in a state of labor and said that it was a miracle that things are not worse than they are. Mhol Colm Henry go hard na hoibrithe sláinte ar fad a bhfuil broid ábhalmhór oibre orthu faoi láthair agus mhaígh sé gur míorúilt é nach bhfuil cúrsaí níos measa ná mar atá.

Thug sé le fios go bhfuil an tír seo i ngábh ó thaobh covid 19 de agus cé go bhfuil laghdú beag tagtha le gairid ar an líon cásanna i measc an phobail gur ráta as cuimse atá ann i gcónaí. There are currently about 2,500 cases a day, he said. Thart 2,500 cás sa ló atá ann faoi láthair, a dúirt sé. He said many of those people have not yet been taken ill, some have to be hospitalized, some will be placed in an intensive care unit and some will unfortunately die. Dúirt sé nár buaileadh tinn go leor de na daoine sin fós, go gcaithfear cuid acu a chur san ospidéal, go gcuirfear cuid acu in aonad dianchúraim agus ar an drochuair go bhfaighidh cuid acu bás. Colm Henry praised health workers who are currently under enormous work pressure and argued that it is a miracle that things are not worse than they are. Mhol Colm Henry oibrithe sláinte a bhfuil brú ábhalmhór oibre orthu faoi láthair agus mhaígh sé gur míorúilt atá ann nach bhfuil cúrsaí níos measa ná mar atá.
