The number of people who have died with Covid-19 since the virus was first recorded in Ireland has passed 7,000. The total number of deaths due to Covid-19 up to yesterday was 7,016.

However, the latest figures from the Health Service Executive also show that the number of people in hospital with Covid-19 continues to decline.

It comes as those aged over 65 are now eligible for a fourth dose of a vaccine. Chair of the Irish Medical Organisation's GP sub-committee Dr Denis McCauley said people who are being targeted for the booster are those that are more at risk of getting very sick and those with compromised immune systems.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, the Donegal-based GP said: "The evidence really is just so clear that the vaccines really prevent you from getting serious disease from going into ICU, and from dying".

Mosquitoes prefer biting people wearing these colors, study says

ORLANDO, Fla. - As summer temperatures arrive in Florida, mosquitoes are at their peak – which means you may have already felt a bite or two. You could put on mosquito repellant, but if that doesn't seem to be working, scientists say the color of your clothes could be the problem. According to Study Finds, those annoying mosquitoes are more attracted to people who wear red, orange or black clothes. Scientists say if you’re looking to keep them away, you should probably stick with the colors green, purple, blue or white and also be sure to cover up your skin."Mosquitoes appear to use odors to help them distinguish what is nearby, like a host to bite," says study senior author Jeffrey Riffell, a professor of biology at the university.
