The Department of Health has confirmed 1,466 new cases of Covid-19, in the Republic of Ireland, over the past 24 hours.
The number of people in hospital with the virus stands at 311, while the number of people in ICU stands at 58.
Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, a further 1,424 Covid-19 cases were confirmed within the past 24 hours, with sadly a further 3 deaths recorded over the same period.
The Chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group Professor Mr Philip Nolan has stated that the incidence rate of Covid-19, while still very high, has decreased over the last fortnight, and the numbers of people in hospital and ICU have stabilised.
Vaccination continues to offer the best protection against the most severe effects of COVID-19, including hospitalisation and death.
