Eight Irish hospitals are now free of Covid-19 inpatients
St James's, Naas, Tullamore, Sligo, Galway, Kilkenny, Mercy and Waterford Hospitals are all clear.
Elsewhere, three children's hospitals - Temple St, Crumlin and Tallaght - are also free of new patients.
HSE CEO Paul Reid tweeted that this was a "great relief for patients, public & staff."
Last night, 59 patients were in hospital as a result of the virus, with 23 of those in ICU.
It's the lowest number of overall patients since September 12 of last year.
On January 18, there were over 2,000 people in hospital with the killer disease.
Earlier on Thursday, Mr Reid issued a minor warning to the public about the situation of Covid in Ireland right now, particularly given how our neighbours are dealing with the Delta variant.
"We must always remain cautious. We only need to look at the UK yesterday to see the dangers of the Delta variant in particular," he said.
"They recorded 7,500 new cases of Covid yesterday, that was their highest since the end of February."
Meanwhile, the vaccine rollout plan has continued to ramp up. As it stands, 3.1 million doses have been administered.
Over 2.2 million people have now received one jab and over 1.1 million have now received their second.
26% of the population are fully vaccinated, while 57% have been jabbed with a first dose.
