It is "in all of our hands" to reduce Covid-19 infections as health service pressures increase, Northern Ireland's chief scientific adviser has said.
Of course, สมัครslotxo successfully. Knowing the timing of a bet is very important.
Prof Ian Young said the booster vaccination programme is "going to be really important" through the winter.
It comes as concerns grow around the impact of a new Covid-19 variant, "Delta Plus".
Earlier, a consultant said he has never witnessed the current hospital pressures in his 20-year career.
Northern Ireland has reached "a steady state with really quite high levels of Covid in the community" of about 475 cases per 100,000 population per seven days, Prof Young told BBC News NI.
He said this had created "very considerable pressures" on hospitals with more than one hospital bed in 10 and about one in three intensive care beds occupied by a Covid-19 patient.
"We are seeing some loss of immunity for people who have had Covid previously and for people who have been vaccinated," said Prof Young.
While there is a lot of uncertainty around what things will look like moving into the winter, Prof Young said it was possible to do modelling looking at a range of scenarios.
"Some of those scenarios would look really quite bad with much higher levels of virus than at present," he said.
"Some would look around the current level or a bit lower.
"Which path we follow really is in all of our hands.
"The ways in which we behave as we move through the winter, the uptake of vaccines those are the things that will matter."
