Dr Ronan Glynn, Acting Chief Medical Officer, said many of today's cases were "spread across a range of different settings and age groups".

He said: "75% of cases are under 45 years of age, with a median age of 33 years.

"At least half of today’s cases were known close contacts of other confirmed cases.

“It remains vital that if a person is concerned that they have been in contact with a confirmed case or is experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, that they isolate and come forward for testing without delay.”
