Ireland could soon follow the US in recommending a five-day isolation period for COVID patients who have no symptoms, according to Trinity Professor Luke O’Neill.– but must wear a mask around others for the next five.Advertisementwith Clare McKenna this morning, Professor Luke O’Neill said Europe may not be far behind.
The CDC announced the new advice as the US has seen a surge in cases in recent days due to Omicron, which is now the country’s dominant variant. Professor O’Neill also told Clare that data continues to suggest that the link between cases, hospitalisations and death has now been broken. “That has gone down a huge amount with Omicron – it is a tenth of what it was, at the moment anyway. So, something has happened there, Omicron is quite different to Delta and that gives us a bit of hope as we move into January.”
