It brings the total number of confirmed infections in Ireland to 5,364.
A total of 174 people in Ireland have now died after contracting coronavirus.
Just four of the deaths reported dead in today's figures were people who had underlying health conditions.
Eleven of the deaths reported today were in the east of the country, four in the north west and one in the west.
The announcement was made at a briefing at the Department of Health this evening.
Earlier today, the Taoiseach said he does not think tougher laws will be needed to ensure people comply with Covid-19 restrictions.
Speaking in Dublin on Monday, Leo Varadkar said people have been compliant with the measures.
"Whether it is people self-isolating for 14 days or obeying the rules around social distancing, I am proud that we as a country have been able to do that by consent," he said.
"We have regulations on the table that are ready to sign if we need to bring in the kind of enforcement powers that exist in other countries.
"I don't want to be in a position where we are criminalising people for going more than two kilometres from their house without an adequate excuse.
"The last thing I want is people to come out of this emergency with fines and prison sentences and criminal convictions.
