The Department of Health confirmed the latest figures this afternoon.

Additionally, 5,585 positive antigen tests have been registered through the HSE website for a combined total of 9,365.
As of 8am this morning, 646 patients with Covid-19 were in hospital, including 72 in intensive care.
Yesterday, the Department of Health reported an additional 3,975 positive PCR cases, as well as 4,478 antigen tests registered on Sunday.
In total, over the weekend, there were 28,166 cases – including PCR and antigen tests – reported since Friday.

The Department of Health decided last month to release Covid-19 case numbers from Monday to Friday, rather than over the weekend.
