The Chief Medical Officer says the possibility of further Covid-19 restrictions can't be ruled out in the future.

He'll tell TD's and Senators the trajectory of the disease remains uncertain, and so an "agile" response will be needed.
It comes as a further 1,181 new cases were confirmed yesterday, while 275 covid patients were in hospital last night, 60 of which are in ICU.
