Coronavirus figures continue to fall | VRT NWS: news

The latest figures on the coronavirus pandemic make for positive reading. The virologist Steven Van Gucht writes in the Health Department’s weekly dispatch that all the indicators relating to coronavirus have now fallen to a relatively low level. However, Professor Van Gucht goes on to say that the new BQ.1 and XBB omicron variants now account for half of all confirmed new infections and this could mean that the figures may start to rise again soon.
