Five areas have been found to have seen another increase in new coronavirus infections in the past 24 hours.
Across the country, another 378 people have tested positive for Covid-19, while one more person has sadly died.
The latest figures were released by the Health Department tonight.
And Dublin is once again the area with the highest number of new cases, with 124.
They are followed by Donegal with 34, Louth with 23 and Cork and Limerick with 19 each.
The remaining 159 cases are spread across 20 other counties.
Speaking about today’s numbers, Medical Director Dr. Tony Holohan has issued a warning about a “worrisome development” in our battle against the virus.
He said: “The 5-day average daily case count is increasing and now exceeds 400 per day. This is a worrying development that has persisted for the past few days. We are seeing a number of things that concern us.
“There are examples of small numbers of people congregating for social purposes and simply ignoring important public health messages. They are putting our collective progress at risk.”
