The Health Protection Surveillance Centre has today been notified of 4,006 confirmed cases of Covid-19.
In addition, on Monday 24 January, 5,212 people registered a positive antigen test through the HSE portal.
There are 79 people suffering in the intensive care unit (ICU) as a result of the virus - a rise of three on this time 24 hours ago.
There are 824 patients in Irish hospitals as of this morning, a fall of 60 from Monday afternoon.
Saturday night saw thousands of people across the island celebrate the lifting of many Covid-19 restrictions.
Among them were the dreaded 8pm curfew on hospitality, as well as the requirement for table services and the 'rule of six' which required people to split into pods if unvaccinated.
But there was still some confusion over the weekend about masks - and who should be wearing them.
Thankfully, the Government has already laid it out in black and white for us.
Mask wearing IS still required in the following settings:
Situations where you are still required to wear a mask
- public transport, taxis and at stations/airports/ports
- retail premises (including shopping centres, libraries, cinemas, theatres, museums, post offices, banks), public offices and at premises providing specified services and businesses (incl. salons, hairdressers, travel agents, laundries, dry cleaners, bookmakers)
- customer facing roles in premises where food and beverages are sold for consumption on the premises
