There have been 1,110 new Covid-19 cases recorded in Ireland in the last 24 hours.
The latest figures were released by the National Public Health Emergency Team this evening.
As of 8am on Tuesday, 89 people are in hospital with the virus.
21 of these people are in the ICU.
It comes after the Irish Mirror got a look at draft regulations for the return of indoor dining.
Customers who want to temporarily leave a pub or restaurant will have to be stamped or tagged which must be checked or returned on re-entry, under draft plans to reopen indoor dining.
Government officials are set to meet hospitality representatives in an hour to finalise rules and regulations which will facilitate the resumption of indoor dining.
In draft regulations seen by the Irish Mirror, one rule states that if a customer leaves the premises for any reason, the recommendation is that they will be required to notify a staff member and be provided with a “clearly identifiable non-transferable ‘tag/stamp’ which must be returned/checked on re-entry.”
The draft document gives an example of a customer leaving a premises to have a cigarette and may be required to re-enter the pub or restaurant using the main entrance.
The document states the “key element” to businesses owners is that it has taken “reasonable steps to ensure that no person other than a permitted person is admitted to a relevant indoor premises” and that “all processes will need to be robust.”
