Tonight another 606 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed.
Meanwhile, three other Covid-19 related deaths have sadly been reported.
The figures were confirmed by the National Public Health Emergency Team.
NPHET will meet on Monday to discuss the current Covid-19 situation in Ireland before issuing recommendations to the government on the current restrictions.
The cabinet will then meet on Tuesday to discuss the council before making a decision on which lockdown measures will be in effect after April 5.
This week it emerged that the government was examining the possibility of lifting the 5km travel limit and possibly allowing more freedoms with regard to outdoor gatherings and outdoor sports.
However, government leaders have repeatedly warned that any changes will only be made if cases continue to decline.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said that four out of five adults in Ireland will be offered one or two doses of vaccines by the end of June if pharmaceutical companies administer the agreed number of injections.
The Minister of Health said that in the next five days, we will receive more than 1.1 million vaccines.
He said that in April, May and June we should receive about a million vaccines each month, but added that this was well advised depending on the pharmaceutical companies delivering the agreed volumes on time.
He said that if pharmaceutical companies deliver the agreed amounts in the next few months, then “four out of every five adults in Ireland may be offered one or two doses of vaccine by the end of June.”
He said: “The date we have been waiting for is June … and if the vaccines arrive as agreed, four out of every five adults are under 50 and over 50, four out of five adults in the country it will be possible to offer a vaccine for one dose or for both doses for many at the end of June.
“It is a very positive message as we are approaching April because June is not very far away.”
