There have been 358 new cases of coronavirus in Ireland.

The Department of Health says that number may change in the future, due to the ongoing impact of the cyberattack against the HSE.

The five-day moving average of new cases now stands at 389.

All COVID-19 test centres are currently operating as walk-in testing centres, as the referral system for tests remains down.

The latest figures from the HSE also show there are 102 patients in Irish hospitals with COVID-19.

39 of those patients are in intensive care.

COVID-19 vaccination is continuing despite the ongoing impact of the cyberattack.

Registration for a vaccine is to open to 49-year-olds tomorrow, before moving to other people aged 45 and over in the coming days.
