There’s been a jump in the number of patients in hospital with Covid-19.
The figure’s risen from 895 yesterday to 957 today – that’s the highest figure since January 19th.
The number of patients in intensive care remains unchanged at 41.
Those figures come as Letterkenny University Hospital now has the joint-highest number of Covid-19 patients of any hospital in the Republic of Ireland.
As of 8 o’clock last night, there were 78 Covid positive patients admitted to LUH – a level only matched by Beaumont Hospital in Dublin.
