The Department of Health has confirmed that 39 more people have died from Covid-19, bringing the overall death toll here to 610.
A further 445 new cases of the coronavirus have been diagnosed. In addition, there are 48 cases of Covid-19 from the backlog of tests at the laboratory in Germany, bringing total additional cases today to 493.There are 454 clusters of the virus – a cluster relates to at least two cases. Nursing homes account for 165 of these clusters, while there are 71 in residential institutions and 22 outbreaks in community hospitals or long-stay units.
Earlier today, the HSE's Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Colm Henry, has said they are seeing "signs of stabilisation" in terms of the numbers of new patients being admitted to acute hospitals. He added there is still capacity in ICU units.The HSE also apologised for an internal memo issued at a Dublin nursing home that used inappropriate language to describe patients.
"The language is unacceptable," said David Walsh, the HSE's National Director of Community Operations. "It is really a matter of regret that any patient or their family would perceive from that [memo] that they were being treated in a differentiated way."

With Covid 19!
