An infectious diseases specialist says a single bad outbreak of Covid-19 at a nursing home could put the hospital system over the edge.
A further 2,944 new cases of the virus were announced last night, with thirteen more deaths.
1,928 people are now being treated in hospital for the infection, including 195 patients in intensive care.
The Chief Medical Officer has issued another warning to employers, saying people should NOT go to work this week if they can do the job from home.
