The infection rate among staff at one Irish hospital has doubled in 48 hours.
Galway University Hospital reported 190 infected on Friday, an increase from 100 just two days earlier.
It's one of a number of hospitals experiencing severe staff shortages, as many are infected with Covid or are close contacts.
CEO of Lifeline Ambulance Service, David Hall, says the situation's on a "knife edge":
"The elephant in the room really is the staff. Staff are exhausted. Staff have had too long years. Many staff now have been infected by Omicron and indeed are close contacts, therefore removing them from the entire situation and removing them from the entire health system for a minimum of five days."
