3,726 new cases were recorded yesterday
A former head of the HSE says government should consider re-imposing restrictions, after 11,500 Covid cases in four days.
3,726 were recorded yesterday - the highest since January 14th.
The 14-day incidence rate has risen by 18 per cent in the past week - and now stands at 695 per 100,000 people.
Former director-general of the HSE, Tony O'Brien, believes it's partly due to night clubs reopening recently
