The Department of Health has said it has been notified of 324 new Covid-19 cases and three additional deaths. Today's figures mean there are now a total of 33,994 Covid-19 here and there have been 1,797 deaths related to the virus.
There is now a strong possibility that the Government will agree to impose further Covid-19 restrictions on Donegal as early as tonight.
There are indications that a decision will be taken this evening arising from a National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) recommendation.
It comes after the Taoiseach said the next ten days are critical in the battle against Covid-19. Earlier, Chief Executive of the Health Service Executive Paul Reid said there is an increasing number of positive Covid-19 cases.
