The Health Service Executive (HSE) says it is working to identify any contacts the patients may have had to provide them with information and advice to prevent further spread.

As of midnight on Monday, 523,277 tests have been carried out.

Over the past week, 49,264 tests were carried out with 157 tests being positive.

This means a positivity rate of 0.3%.

Dr Ronan Glynn, Acting Chief Medical Officer, said: "Knowing the symptoms of COVID-19 and making contact with your GP immediately is a crucial component to us identifying and containing this disease.

"Symptoms associated with COVID-19 can be similar to other common ailments.

"I would urge anyone experiencing symptoms to assume it is COVID-19, in the first instance, until a GP or test tells you otherwise."
