As of 8am today, 936 COVID-19 patients are hospitalised, of whom 84 are in ICU.


Notes

Statistics on booster vaccinations are now available on the COVID-19 data hub.



Given the current high incidence, the daily case number is based on positive SARS-CoV-2 results uploaded to the HSE COVID Care Tracker the preceding day. These data are provisional. The HPSC and surveillance partners will continue to notify and process cases and outbreaks of COVID-19 on CIDR over this period.
