The HSE may also put in place a number of pop-up vaccination teams that will be available to support particular locations if access to vaccination becomes a challenge.

The latest data shows that there are 697people in hospital today with or because of Covid19 and 21 of these are in ICU.

There were almost 34,000 Covid19 tests completed in the 7 days to June 25th and these reveal a positivity rate of 31.4%
