The Department of Health has confirmed that 431 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Ireland today.
The figures show that as of midnight on Friday, there were 58 people being treated in hospital for the virus.
Of these patients, 22 are in ICU, compared to 23 yesterday.
The Department warned that daily case numbers may change due to future data validation.
The 14-day incidence rate per 100,000 of the population now stands at 111.
The five-day moving average is now 336, while the seven-day average is 338.
It comes as the Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the EU's vaccine rollout should be seen as an enormous success.
Over 3.1 million jabs have been administered in Ireland so far.
The online portal for registration is expected to open for people in their 30s shortly.
Meanwhile, leaders of the G7 countries will sign a declaration today designed to ensure pandemics like COVID-19 never happen again.
