The Department of Health has stopped reporting daily figures at the weekend and is instead now releasing a three-day update on Mondays.

3,872 PCR-confirmed cases have been confirmed today, along with 4,759 antigen tests.

As of this morning, there were 692 patients in Irish hospitals with COVID-19.

That's up from 651 yesterday, although hospital numbers often rise over the weekend due to fewer discharges.

75 COVID-19 patients are currently in ICU, up one compared to yesterday.
