A total of 9,365 new cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed by the Department of Health today.
These figures include 3,780 PCR confirmed cases, and 5,585 self-reported positive antigen tests.
646 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalised, of which 72 are in ICU.
Last week, the department made the decision to report Covid-19 case numbers from Monday to Friday only.
However, daily hospital and ICU information will continue to be updated on the Covid-19 Data Hub as usual on Saturdays and Sundays.
Yesterday, the Department were notified of 28,166 positive Covid cases from over the entire weekend.
This comes as parents worry that they may have to pay for Covid-19 tests for teenagers ahead of family holidays.
The booster programme for the 12-15 year old cohort has not yet been rolled out, with many teens' EU digitial Covid certs expiring before the summer season.
