There have been 1,706 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Ireland today.

Today's case numbers bring the five-day moving average of new cases to 1,899.

As of this morning, there were 347 COVID-19 patients in Irish hospitals - up from 324 yesterday.

There are 60 patients in ICU, a decrease of one patient compared to yesterday.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan yesterday warned that COVID-19 transmission levels are still "simply too high" in Ireland.

He urged people to continue to follow the public health advice, and for anyone who hadn't received a vaccine so far to come forward.

He also said it's "not too late" for people who missed an appointment to get their second dose.

More than 20 walk-in vaccine centres are open today, with the clinics now open to 12-15-year-olds.
