Another eight deaths related to Covid-19 and 4,929 new cases have been reported by the Department of Health. The number of people in intensive care is up by 21 to 146.

The Chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group has said the number of cases in the last two to three weeks essentially dwarf the two preceding waves of the disease.

Professor Philip Nolan said the current wave of disease makes the October wave of the disease look relatively small. Speaking at this evening's National Public Health Emergency Team briefing, he said the five-day case average of 5,283 has begun to stabilise, compared to 6,000-7,000 cases per day on average a little over a week now.
