THE DEPUTY CHIEF Medical Officer has said public health officials are not predicting a fourth wave – or another lockdown – but it remains a possibility if restrictions are eased too quickly.
In his opening statement to the Oireachtas Health Committee, Dr Ronan Glynn said the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) will continue to recommend to government a “cautious approach” and the “gradual and phased” easing of measures, warning that moving too quickly could spark a fourth wave.
