Over 200 new cases notified in the county since Friday.

12,103 people in Co. Kildare have been diagnosed with Covid-19, since testing began, following 39 new cases confirmed, last night

2 additional deaths were notified, and  383 new cases of the virus were confirmed.

4,908 people have died with Covid-19 in Ireland, since the beginning of the pandemic.

Since testing began in Feburary of last year,   250,675  cases of  the virus have been confirmed in Ireland.

Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, the Department of Health said: “As we move closer to the easing of restrictions on 10 May, we can look forward to opportunities to enjoy the better weather and to meeting with our family and close friends safely and with the public health measures in mind.

“The virus is still circulating in the community and is still a risk, particularly to those who have yet to be vaccinated. Collectively we know how to interrupt the spread of this disease, so when you are making plans for coming week, don’t underestimate the need to keep your distance, meet outdoors where possible and wash your hands. And if it’s crowded, turn around and come back another time. Together these simple measures will minimise the risk of infection.
