The Chief Clinical Officer with the HSE says it’s frustrating that some businesses aren’t checking covid vaccine certs.
44,000 cases of the virus have been reported over the past 14 days.
Only 11% of the cases are over the age of 65 but 50%of the hospitalisations are in the same age group.
Dr Colm Henry from the HSE admits it’s annoying that some people aren’t complying with the rules.
"It's frustrating, of course, and we can do better.
"I think what we showed last year was when people rallied together, not just to protect themselves and their family, this sense of solidarity showed people want to do the right thing.
"We can do better."
