There have been two further deaths from coronavirus in Ireland, as well as another nine new confirmed cases.
This brings the total number of deaths to 1,740, while the total number of cases is at 25,498.
Dr Ronan Glynn, Acting Chief Medical Officer,said: “Ireland’s 14 day incidence of Covid-19 is now less than three cases per 100,000.
"This is amongst the lowest in Europe and demonstrates that the disease remains suppressed in our communities.
"The key to maintaining this status is responsible individual behaviours and avoiding any complacency.”
He added: “HIQA’s report on mortality today demonstrates that we have comprehensively recorded deaths relating to Covid-19 in Ireland by following the recommended WHO approach.
“We have consistently recorded and published data on all deaths where a person had Covid-19 or was suspected to have Covid-19.
"This reporting gives us a robust understanding of the impact of the disease in Ireland and continues to inform our response.”
