The Department of Health has confirmed 984 new cases of Covid-19, in the Republic of Ireland within the past 24 hours.
There are 343 people in hospital with the disease, down six on yesterday’s numbers, with 70 of these being treated in intensive care units, up five from yesterday.
Prof Philip Nolan (NPHET) has stated that the population seems to have come close to suppressing Covid-19 and we are in a good place in relation to lifting the remaining restrictions currently in place by October 22th next.
In Northern Ireland, a further 1,339 cases of the virus were confirmed by their Department of Health, in the last 24 hours; up from 1,209 cases on yesterday’s reported figures.
The latest hospital figures show there were 362 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals in Northern Ireland today, up from 346 reported yesterday, with 31 of these in intensive care.
Meanwhile, in Russia, sadly more than 900 daily coronavirus deaths have been reported for the first time, as the country struggles with stubbornly high infection rates, driven by the Delta variant and low vaccination take-up.
Please Remember:
Vaccination continues to offer the best protection against the most severe effects of COVID-19, including hospitalisation and death.
