3,174 new cases reported today.

56 new deaths related to Covid-19 have been reported in the past seven days.

3,174 new cases of the virus have also been detected in the past 24 hours.

Latest figures show there are 460 people in hospital with Covid, with 86 in ICU.

Professor Philip Nolan from NPHET says there's been a smaller increase in cases among those aged over 85 compared to other cohorts - he says it's likely due to the booster vaccine:

There has been a total of 5,492* deaths related to COVID-19 notified in Ireland.

This includes 56 deaths newly notified in the past week (since last Wednesday).
