Hospital numbers continue to fall
The number of people suffering with Covid-19 in Irish hospitals continues to slowly fall.
HSE CEO Paul Reid said there were many 'reasons to be hopeful' as infection rates among elderly people also dropped thanks to the Covid-19 vaccines being rolled out.
''Hospital (475) & ICU (112) numbers down again. Vaccines showing very positive early signs of effectiveness. Infections amongst the most vulnerable & healthcare workers hugely decreasing. More to go, so let's see this through now.'' Reid tweeted this afternoon.

The 75-year-old was seen receiving the Moderna jab in a new video.
