From higher proportions of Covid-19 in urban areas being in line with expectations, to comments on Vitamin D, here are six things we learned at this evening's Covid-19 briefing. Community effort is the most essential measure Responding to a suggestion that the primary "lever" by which public health officials are trying to control Covid-19 is the community, Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn said "that is absolutely the case" and said it is the same the world over.
He said that if the public do not go along with the measures officials implement then nothing will work. Retrospective contact tracing Dr Glynn said that NPHET would like to see retrospective contact tracing, and has been calling for it since August.
