Five-day moving average of new COVID-19 cases - today's average is 409

As of this morning, there were 103 COVID-19 patients in Irish hospitals.

38 of those patients are in intensive care.

The past week has seen all COVID-19 testing centres operating on a walk-in basis due to the cyberattack's impact on the referral system.

However, the vaccination programme is continuing - with over 260,000 doses expected to be administered this week.

Officials today said a fifth of people who booked a vaccine appointment in Drogheda, County Louth on Tuesday failed to show.

People are being urged to let authorities know if they can't make their allotted time.
