Health officials say we still haven’t hit a peak in Covid 19 cases.
The HSE says it’s planning for the peak to come around April 10th to 14th.
HSE worst case projections suggest numbers of patients requiring intensive care could rise to a peak of 546 a day by mid-April.
Consultant Chris Luke at Mercy University Hospital Cork says they’re preparing for a rise in cases.
"We haven't seen the surge, and I'm anticipating seeing that in the next few days.
"Particularly with the uptick over the weekend sadly with the abrupt upward rise in the number of deaths and the number of cases, you're looking at a doubling of cases every two or three days."
