In addition, 4,655 positive antigen tests have been reported through the HSE website for a combined total of 8,815.
As of 8am this morning, there were 635 patients in hospital with a confirmed case of Covid-19, of whom 63 are receiving treatment in ICU.
Yesterday, the Department of Health reported an additional 3,494 positive PCR cases, as well as 3,609 antigen tests registered on Sunday.
