The HSE has confirmed ten new cases of Covid-19 were detected among passengers that are currently in hotel quarantine in Ireland.
The positive cases were discovered amid the 419 people that are currently quarantining in hotels.
Since the policy was introduced in late March, guests must undergo testing on the first and 10th days of their 12-night duration in quarantine.
These stays in quarantine are paid for by the people themselves.
The number of travellers that will have to abide by the mandatory quarantine rules is set to increase within the coming weeks with further confirmed cases feared.
Meanwhile, two North Dublin walk-in testing centres have returned the highest positivity rate of all the new facilities that opened last week in updated figures released by the HSE.
Centres in Finglas at Colaiste Eoin and in Blanchardstown both have the highest positivity levels, with tests there hovering over 4% positivity.
The two sites were also well above the average of 2.6% for the other locations that have popped up across the country.
More centres are set to open in Dublin, with Ballyfermot set to get one later this week.
The "no appointment necessary" clinics opened last week.
Over 25,000 have attended, with a total of 635 cases detected, not all of which were asymptomatic cases.
You can use this free, walk-in COVID-19 testing service if you:
· are aged 16 years and over
· do not have symptoms of COVID-19 but would like to be tested
· live within 5k of the walk-in testing centre
