Figures released last night indicated that more than 13,000 of those who’ve been diagnosed with the virus have recovered.
As of midnight on Tuesday, 5,684 of the confirmed cases were associated with healthcare workers.
Dr Tony Holohan said: "The latest report of COVID-19 cases in healthcare workers reveals that 34% of cases relate to nurses, healthcare assistants amount to 24% and cases among doctors is at 7%.
“Since the pandemic began in Ireland 72 nurses, 40 healthcare assistants, 22 doctors and 45 other allied healthcare workers have been hospitalised with COVID-19.”
Restrictions
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar today outlined how a decision on eventually lifting coronavirus restrictions will be made - but said there is still a long way to travel before things can return to normal.
He said plan is being developed to ease the lock down - describing it as a "roadmap to re-open Ireland" and a "roadmap to what will be a new normal".
Speaking at this evening's press briefing, Professor Philip Nolan said in March within 10 days the country went from 50 patients in ICU to 140 patients.
There are currently 106 COVID-19 patients in ICUs - with Prof Nolan said another surge would make it "very difficult to manage the treatment of patients".
He suggested: "This reflects the sensitivity required in relaxing restrictions”.
