The Taoiseach has said that Covid-19 is "with us for the long term" as cases begin to rise amid fears of a new summer wave.
There were 574 people in hospital with the virus as of 8am this morning, with 23 people being treated in intensive care units.
An Taoiseach Micheal Martin has urged people need to be "vigilant" but said there is no need for restrictions or any measures right now.
