Using tonight’s figures, there have been a total of 2,033 Covid-19 related deaths in Ireland.
There are also now a total of 71,187 confirmed cases of the virus in Ireland.
There are currently 269 people in the hospital with Covid-19 and another 36 people in the ICU with the virus.
The Health Department said of the cases reported today: 123 are men and 146 are women, 64 percent are under 45 years of age and the average age is 35 years.
As for the location of tonight’s cases: 88 are in Dublin, 42 in Cork, 25 in Limerick, 20 in Louth, 16 in Donegal and the remaining 78 spread across 17 other counties.
It occurs when seven other people with Covid-19 have died in Northern Ireland, according to the region’s Department of Health.
The death toll recorded by the department now stands at 954, while there were also another 533 confirmed cases of the virus recorded in the latest 24-hour reporting period.
The department’s daily panel said that today’s infection figure may be higher than normal due to a “problem with data flow” in laboratory tests conducted through the NHS national program, which saw the figure rise yesterday below expectations.
