783 new infections were reported yesterday.
The Head of the HSE has said he expects Covid case numbers to continue to rise in the immediate future.
It comes as the Department of Health confirmed a five month high in case numbers yesterday
As of midnight, Tuesday 13 July, we are reporting 783* confirmed cases of #COVID19.

20 in ICU. 73 in hospital.
*Daily case numbers may change due to future data review, validation and update.
783 new infections were reported and the Delta variant now accounts for 80% of the cases reported here.
Paul Reid says says he's very concerned about how the forthcoming easing of restriction in the UK on July 19th will affect the spread of the variant here.
Covid-19 case numbers are growing by more than 3 percent each day, while the virus' reproduction number is above one.
There has also been a steep increase in the number of people aged between 16 and 30 being diagnosed with Covid 19.
Paul Reid says he expects case numbers to continue to rise, but the vaccination rollout is having an impact
Our vaccine programme will ultimately out manoeuvre the virus & Delta. Later this week 5M vaccines will have been administered. Today over 58% of adults are fully vaccinated. So let's protect all of this, by being cautious, as Delta will have an impact for a few weeks. @HSELive
