CMO Explains Coronavirus Figures
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan explained: “Today’s increase in notifications of COVID-19 is not an increase in the daily incidence of the disease.
"When the cases are analysed according to the date the samples were taken, it shows that they were spread out over a number of days."
According to the Department, 22 of the cases would normally have been reported on Thursday or Friday.
But they were delayed due to "technical reasons as part of normal laboratory practice".
Separately, figures show there were 79 patients in Irish hospitals last night with confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Meanwhile, the number of COVID-19 patients in the country's intensive care units has now fallen to 27.
