The Health Protection Surveillance Centre has been informed of 92 new confirmed cases of Covid-19.
There were no new deaths reported to the HPSC in the last 24 hours.
46 cases are confirmed to be associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case while 11 cases have been identified as community transmission.
31 of the cases are in Tipperary, 17 are in Dublin, seven are in Clare, seven are in Wexford, five are in Kildare and the remaining 25 cases are in Carlow, Cavan, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Kilkenny, Limerick, Louth, Meath, Monaghan and Wicklow.
“While the number of cases reported each day remains high, the situation nationally has remained relatively stable over the past week,” Dr Ronan Glynn, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said.
“However, we have seen cases in 25 of the 26 counties over the past 14 days, including 473 cases in Dublin, 332 in Kildare, 120 in Tipperary, 84 in Limerick, 37 in Clare and 36 in Meath and Kilkenny.
“Measures introduced last week would not be expected to impact on the trajectory of the disease until early next week. In the meantime, we must continue to follow public health advice – reduce social contacts and avoid crowds, physically distance, wear face coverings and wash hands regularly.”
47 new cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Northern Ireland in the past 24 hours by the Department of Health, bringing the overall tally to 6,823.
