There has been a total of 1,965 COVID-19 related deaths in Ireland.
As of midnight Tuesday 10 November, the HPSC has been notified of 362 confirmed cases of COVID-19. There has now been a total of 66,247* confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ireland.
(*Validation of data at the HPSC has resulted in the denotification of 4 confirmed cases. The figure of 66,247 confirmed cases reflects this.)
Of the cases notified today:
As of 2pm today, 280 COVID-19 patients are hospitalised, of which 38 are in ICU. There have been 21 additional hospitalisations in the past 24 hours.
Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said:
"The profile of the disease is improving and, while this is a positive trend, it does not mean it is time to take a step back from our adherence to public health guidelines. I urge everyone to redouble their efforts, try and have fewer close contacts this week than you did last week, continue to social distance and follow the other vitally important public health guidelines.
"I also want to thank those who have self-isolated after receiving a positive COVID-19 test result; or having been identified as a close contact of a confirmed case. Self-isolating is a vital measure in our efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and it is essential that all those asked to self-isolate continue to do so."
The COVID-19 Dashboard provides up-to-date information on the key indicators of COVID-19 in the community.
