There has been a further 1,378 Covid cases.

That's the highest figure in nearly 6 months.

96 people are in hospital, it's up 7 in the past 24 hours.

While the number in ICU has increased by 1 to 22.

Meanwhile the growth rate of new cases is roughly 7% per day, according to the Deputy Chief Medical Officer.

Dr. Ronan Glynn says the incidence rate is increasing across the country, and is highest in those aged 19-24 and 16-18.

Meanwhile, indoor dining can resume on Monday for people who are fully vaccinated or have recovered from Covid.

President Michael D Higgins signed the legislation into law earlier today.

Time limits for customers will be lifted and restaurants and pubs will close at 11:30pm.

However pubs and restaurants are still awaiting official guidance on the reopening.
