Some 885 people are in hospital with Covid 19, an increase of 59 since yesterday.
There are 32 patients with the disease in ICU.

Monaghan GP Illona Duffy has people shouldn't rely on just one antigen test to establish if they have the virus.
"We're not going to stop ourselves getting it, because this virus is mutating and changing," she said.
