The Minister for Health has defended the Government's decision not to reimpose mandatory mask wearing in response to a recent surge in Covid-19 cases.

She said the focus should remain on staying at home if experiencing symptoms and getting booster vaccines. “But advice which we’re going to emphasise more and more is that for people who are under 55 and medically well, you don’t need to get a test actually. Once the peak had passed in other countries there was a rapid decline in case numbers, he added. This included 59 people in intensive care units (ICUs), an increase of one in 24 hours. Earlier, the Covid-19 lead with the Irish College of General Practitioners said a “cultural change” was needed in Irish society so it is considered “impolite” to go to work or school with what could be symptoms of the disease. When asked if he was prepared to publish that advice, he said he was as he felt that the more advice there was “out there” the better.

For those who may be considered more susceptible, such as those who may have underlying issues, the innate immune response may be able to provide resistance and prevent them from getting sick. “But, this is what we would be wanting to research.” O’Farrelly said that it is “likely” that those who have an innate system would be resistant to other variants of Covid-19, which she believes we could see more of. “This consortium is looking for genetic markers of resistance to infection, so it means having to sequence the whole genome of the people who are resistant,” O’Farrelly said. Wearing masks and being cautious of the virus could just be part of the reason some people have avoided it.
