HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE confirmed that no further people have died with Covid-19 in Ireland. 

It means the number of people in this country with coronavirus who have sadly died stands at 1,746.  

The National Public Health Emergency Team has also said that a further 32 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed, bringing the total number of cases in Ireland to 25,670.

“Knowing the symptoms of Covid-19 and making contact with your GP immediately is a crucial component to us identifying and containing this disease,” Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn said. 

“Symptoms associated with Covid-19 can be similar to other common ailments. I would urge anyone experiencing symptoms to assume it is Covid-19, in the first instance, until a GP or test tells you otherwise,” Dr Glynn said. 

“Keep informed on symptoms and updates on Covid-19 in the community using reputable sites such as hse.ie and gov.ie/health.”
