The new figures represent the highest daily number of death in the Republic since the outbreak began. There were also 294 new cases of Covid-19 announced.

The median age of the new reported deaths is 81. All of these were in the east of the country.

Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said: “Today, we have our highest recorded number of deaths so far. Our condolences are with the family and friends of all patients who have died as a result of COVID-19.

“We thank all citizens who have complied with restrictive measures, who continue to follow public health advice and remain concerned for those around them.

“We must remain focused in our shared efforts to prevent the spread of this infection, to prevent severe illness especially that which requires ICU admission and ultimately save lives.”  

Dr Ronan Glynn, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said: “The Department of Health, HSE and our frontline workers will continue to take every action against COVID-19, but it is each and every one of us, individually, who has the power to reduce this threat.

"Stay at home, follow the advice and protect one another."
