Three further deaths and 34 new cases of Covid-19 were announced this evening.
The number of confirmed cases now stands at 25,730 and the death toll stands at 1,752.
Validation of data at the Health Protection Surveillance Centre has resulted in the denotification of two confirmed cases.
The figure of 25,730 confirmed cases reflects this.
The latest figures comes after a GP warned that it is “starting to feel like March again” as fears of a second wave increase.
Dr Maitiu O Tuathail, the former head of the GP union has been vocal about a second wave coming and now believes it’s on the horizon.
Dr O Tuathail said his day is now inundated with Covid related calls and believes things are nearly as bad as in March.
The doctor tweeted: “It’s really starting to feel like March 2020 all over again.
“Getting an alarming increase in requests for Covid testing and it’s trending upwards.
“My day so far has been all Covid related - for the first time in weeks It’s worrying.”
The Athlone GP warned two weeks ago after scenes outside Dublin pubs that he believed a second wave was about to hit.
He said at the time: “After last night, I really think we’re weeks away from a second wave.”
