The fact that people are "back to normal" with no public health measures in place is contributing to the rise in Covid-19 cases, a leading immunologist has said.

Professor of Experimental Immunology at Trinity College Dublin Kingston Mills said the lack of social distancing, no masks, and "a lot of contact" are contributing to the rise in virus cases.

Speaking on RTÉ's This Week programme, Prof Mills said a lot of the Covid cases in hospital are incidental. However he said that for people that are older or with underlying medical conditions Covid-19 is still a concern and if they have not been vaccinated with a fourth dose, they should get it "The other worrying statistic is the positivity rate of those that are tested has gone up from 16 to 22%," Prof Mills added.

He said the worry with this virus is that it keeps changing and it makes it more difficult for the vaccines to work. However, he said they help prevent serious illness.

That’s what I worry about.”And, as technology systems will always face inevitable failures, similar outages could likely happen in the future.“The idea that we’re going to avoid this altogether is, I think, probably unrealistic,” Chamberlin said.“There’s only so much that can be done in terms of the actual plumbing of the internet.
