As of midnight, Saturday 5 June, the Department of Health have been notified of 313 new confirmed cases of Covid-19.

Of the 313 cases, 70 are in hospital, meanwhile, 27 are in intensive care units across the country.

According to the Department, daily case numbers may change due to future data review, validation and update.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has also urged people to self-isolate if they suspect they may be a close contact of a confirmed case, or have displayed any symptoms of the virus.

“If you display any symptoms of Covid-19 or suspect you are a close contact of a confirmed case, you should attend a test centre for a free test and self-isolate until you receive your results,” he said in a statement on Sunday.

“If you have been diagnosed with Covid-19, it’s really important that you self-isolate for a period of 10 days to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19 to other people in your community.”
